Rose Waldron captured the interaction on video, sharing her thoughts on the situation as she watched from a safe distance.
“So much for that trampoline,” he says at one point.
As the video begins, one of the bears is in the tall net that surrounds the trampoline.  The other is standing outside, on the edge of the trampoline frame.
After some unsuccessful attempts to climb over the net, the bear outside finds its way, fighting for a while with the other bear on the bouncing surface before both animals lie down.
Waldron notes as she watches that she does not want to go out and try to scare the bears away, for fear of being caught in the trampoline net and “freaking out”.
As bears emerge from hibernation and become more active, they are often found in man-made environments.  This can lead to glamorous videos like Waldron’s, but it can also lead to significant property damage.
Earlier last week, Trail, BC resident Michael Allison was surprised to find that his car had been misled by a black bear that was probably looking for food.
Bears who see humans as a source of food are considered potential threats, and the BC Conservation Service often decides it has no choice but to destroy them.
Figures from the provincial government show that the months of May to October tend to see the largest number of black bears being killed by protection officers.
Between 2017 and 2022, 13 bears were killed, on average, every April.  In May, the average rises to 69, or more than two each day.
The average is even higher in October, when bears consume as many calories as they can prepared for winter.
More than 500 black bears were killed by protection officers in BC.  Last year, Luci Cadman, executive director of the North Shore Black Bear Society, said this was partly because people did not take hearty messages to make them attractive.
In January, Cadman told CTV News that she believed people could change their behavior if they realized how many bears were killed each year. 
“If people who had a garage stored their garbage and organics in the garage until the morning of the collection, we would see a huge reduction in the time the bears spend in the community,” Cadman said at the time.
“We will always see them in the community and all we need to do is give them space and make sure we do what we can to not encourage them to stay.”
Tips for securing attractive bears are available on the provincial government website.
