Suncor Assessed Wildlife Aware
We are an official provider of the Wildlife Aware Level 2 required to work at Suncor. This course has been assessed and is considered an equivalent for staff or contractors working on Suncor sites.
A rising number of companies, such as Suncor, are making wildlife awareness training and practical bear spray training mandatory for staff and contractors working on sites with wildlife habitat.
This four hour course is for staff working in close proximity to wildlife habitat areas. It provides them with the knowledge of how to avoid bear and other wildlife encounters, and what to do in an encounter. It provides practical training in the use of bear spray.
