We seek to encourage the proper stewardship of wildlife for all stakeholders in BC by providing input on regulation and allocation decisions. Science and law should act as a guide to wildlife management and allocation decisions. We seek to ensure guide outfitters are recognized in this process, and emphasize the positive role that hunting plays conservation. We provide input on the Allocation Policy to ensure conservation, fairness and industry viability. The primary piece of legislation managing our industry is the Wildlife Act. We advocate for changes to the Wildlife Act that affect guide outfitting businesses throughout the province. These changes will strengthen our tenures and promote industry growth. Many of these changes will help reduce "red tape" for our industry. We seek to provide input in land use decisions for the purposes of ensuring business certainty. This includes decisions under the Land Act, Parks Act, Adventure Tourism Policy and First Nations land use decisions. Our methods include letters, dinners, press relesases, events, informational papers, meetings, phone calls and attendence of key government events.
