Angling, hunting and trapping engagement

Last updated on February 20, 2024

The public is invited to comment on proposed angling, hunting, and trapping regulations through website engagement.

Now posted: Proposed hunting regulation changes for the 2024-2026 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis and 2024 Limited Entry Hunting Regulations Synopsis.

The provincial government recognizes that a wider range of perspectives can be reached through web-based public engagement. We will continue to use a face-to-face consultation process in addition to collecting online feedback.

Angling, hunting and trapping regulation proposals are posted on this website for public comment. User comments are visible only to designated government staff and to the user who posted the comment. A summary of website responses will be analyzed, summarized, and forwarded to government decision makers for consideration.  Final regulatory and policy decisions will be made available on the website.

The posted regulation proposals describe the current and proposed regulations, and include rationales for the proposed regulatory change, while ensuring that the primary goal of conservation is maintained.

The provincial government is committed to creating and supporting engagement processes that are free from bullying, harassment, incidents of hate and discrimination. Racism has absolutely no place in British Columbia. We must all stand together to denounce racism and nurture communities where everyone feels safe.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts and working together to ensure that British Columbia provides world-class sustainable hunting, trapping, and fishing opportunities.

Users may view proposals without logging in. Users will be required to log in with a BCeID "basic account" in order to post comments. If you have a current business or personal BCeID account, you will not be able to access the feedback forms. You will need to register for a basic account. 

Visit the BCeID website. 

Note: We strive to post all proposed regulation changes at once, however there are situations when that is not possible and additional proposed changes are posted at a later date. Viewers are encouraged to re-visit the website often; the most recent postings are at the top of the list.
