There are bears at Fort Steele, BC
The public notice warns users to use bear bells and pepper spray. There's also a scatology guide that helps the outdoorsman recognize feces (droppings) one might find in the wild.

These would have come in handy; when I was a kid there was a period in which I had to walk over a field and through the woods to get to my bus stop -truly- and I had to wear a cow bell (that perplexed the cows) in order to give the wild animals (bears mostly) a notice of my presence. The last hundred metres was a gravel road and I'd hurriedly stuff the cowbell into my lunch box and hope it was muffled well enough -I don't think it fooled anyone. Hilarious to see these tiny little bear bells!

Which reminds me of a joke:
Q: How do you protect yourself from bears while hiking?
A: Carry pepper spray to spray the bears with, wear bells to warn them you're coming, and keep an eye out for bear droppings to recognize their territory.
Q: How do you recognize bear droppings?
A: It smells like pepper and has bells in it.
