Grizzly Bear Trophy Hunting Ban Consultations Have Begun

Posted in: , ,

 

British Columbians are being given the opportunity to provide input on new proposed grizzly bear regulations.

On Aug. 14, 2017, the B.C. government announced that effective Nov. 30, 2017 it will end trophy hunting of grizzly bears and stop all hunting of grizzly bears in the Great Bear Rainforest.

Until Nov. 2, the public can provide input into two policy documents outlining the proposed regulation changes required to implement the ban.

The two policy documents can be reviewed by clicking the links below or by visiting: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/
