Changes to Regional Inspection Stations
Compulsory Inspections for Hunter Harvest are now provided through qualified CI Inspectors in 27 locations throughout B.C.
The information obtained through inspections helps the province to base decisions about wildlife management on sound science.
The new system will be more efficient, cost-effective and convenient for hunters and will allow government staff to concentrate on priorities such as enforcing the Wildlife Act.
All information an Inspector receives on behalf of the Ministry is confidential.
Note: Compulsory Inspection Stations are open by appointment only
