Bear Bus
The BEAR Bus is on the move and bringing fun, learning, and adventure directly to families across our community!
The BEAR Bus is a mobile early learning and parent participation program designed for children ages 0-6 and their caregivers. Watch for us at parks, trails, community events, festivals, and gathering places throughout Abbotsford!
Introducing Walking Tales! Join us as we explore local parks and nature trails together. Children and caregivers will enjoy outdoor adventures, stories, songs, and discovery activities before heading back to the BEAR Bus for a healthy snack and engaging circle time.
Rain or shine, the fun continues! Preregistration not required.
More adventures are coming as the BEAR Bus travels throughout the community, creating opportunities for children and families to connect, learn, play, and grow together.
You'll also find the BEAR Bus at the Indigenous Community Centre, local festivals, special events, and community celebrations throughout the year.
If you see the BEAR Bus, come say hello! We are more than a mobile program. We are a welcoming community resource dedicated to supporting families and creating meaningful learning experiences for young children. Follow us on social media or check out website for the monthly schedule.
