Because your safety is our first priority, the Worker Accommodation facility is equipped with sophisticated fire protection ssytems. We ask that you please educate yourselves about the location of the emergency exits, fire alarms, and familiarize yourself with the Emergency Response Procedure posted on the back of each Guest Room door. In the event of the alarm sounding, evacuate the building by using the exit marked on the floor plan and assemble at the Muster Point closest to your location. Once outside follow the instructions of the fire wardens and do not re-enter the building until authorized to do so.
In order to keep you safe, we need to keep an accurate on-site Guest list. Please inform the front desk when leaving site and again when returning.
To further support our fire prevention and safety program, the use of candles or other open flames is not permitted in the guest rooms or any area of the WA facility.
If at any time during your stay you notice anything of a suspicious or alarming nature, or if you need any special assistance, please reach out to the Facility Manager or Assistant Facility Manager. You can reach them by contacting the HelpDesk at 1-778-844-0260
Please do not approach wildlife for any reason. Refrain from throwing rocks, and NEVER feed the wildlife. It is our goal to be a good neighbour; this includes coexisting with the surrounding wildlife. Please observe posted signs that address wildlife concerns.
During bear season, avoid walking alone and be suitably equipped to deal with a bear encounter. The best way to prevent conflicts with bears and other wildlife is by minimizing contact with them. If a bear at a distance has seen you and does not run away - remain calm and let the bear identify you as a human. Raise your arms and talk to the bear in a calm voice - you are reassuring the bear that you pose no threat. If it is safe to do so, continue facing the bear and slowly and carefully back away, increasing your distance and leaving the area.
Running may solicit an attack and no matter how fast you think you are; you cannot outrun a bear. Ensure your movements do not block the bears escape route. The bear may not be willing to run across a road or past stationary equipment or dive into a lake to avoid you. If a bear displays signs of stress and begins to act defensively, back away slowly and talk to the bear and never turn your back. Most bear attacks are predatory in nature. If you are attacked by a bear fight back and arm yourself with whatever is available - stick, shovel, rocks, etc. You want the bear to think it is risking injury if it persists.
