I always forget this little, and somewhat annoying, fact about life in Canada. The folks in BC have the right idea - they ignore the rule! In Canada, all printed stuff must be in English and in French. This means street signs, literature, pamphlets, etc. I had actually forgotten this when I saw this sign at the Icefield Center located at the Columbia Glacier. I wondered why they were talking about their bears when I realized that the French word for 'bear' is (or must be) 'our.' I thought it lent the correct tone of absurdity to this rule of law!
