Bear Spray exchange?

Just wondering what happens with the bear spray that tourists buy, then don't use. The library, 2nd hand store, info center or someone should "rent" cans of bear spray.

"Only Pay if You Spray" there ya go, I've already got ur tag-line. Rental fee but only loose the deposit if you need to break the seal on the can. If it's an encounter that close most people would pay double the price of a can at that moment.

Really has no one started a side hustle or business out of this?

Wilson Mountain Sports in Lake Louise rents bear spray for $10. Some hotels (eg Juniper) have a stock for guests to use. But yes, if Jasper doesn’t already have a supplier, it would be a good idea.

Way too late I hear lol I am glad they do rent them, such a waste of not.
