Project Grizzly is a 1996 National Film Board of Canada documentary about the lifelong project of Troy Hurtubise, a man who has been obsessed with researching the Canadian grizzly bear up close, ever since surviving an early encounter with such a bear.

The film documents Hurtubise's diligent work to improve his homemade "grizzly-proof" suit of armour, his efforts to test its resilience, and his forays into the Rockies to track down the grizzlies he dreams of meeting. The film attempts to capture the humor of the project as well as its sincerity. It is directed by Peter Lynch and produced by Michael Allder.

"Project Grizzly" holds a 63% audience approval rating on "Rotten Tomatoes", a 6.5/10 on "IMDB", and a 11/12 from "Entertainment Weekly". It was also nominated for the 17th "Genie Award" for Best Feature Length Documentary.
