UPDATE: Notice to hunters: First Nations announced closures
- Members of local First Nations have issued a news release suggesting they are closing portions of the Cariboo, Omineca and Skeena to all LEH hunting. The following LEH Areas within the boundary include:
o 5-3, 5-4A, 5-4B, 5-4C, 5-5, 5-6, 5-10, 5-11, 5-12A, 5-12B, 5-13A, 5-13B, 5-13C, 5-14, 5-15B, 5-15C, 5-15D, 6-1, 7-4, 7-10, 7-11, and 7-12B, and

- The Province considers the licences of guides, resident hunters and non-resident hunters to be valid.
- At this time we do not know what First Nations are planning with respect to enforcement of their announcement.
- We ask everyone to remain respectful of one another on the ground while we look at options to resolve the situation.
- Hunters seeking direction on what to do if they encounter a protest, or who wish to report any confrontation, should contact their local RCMP detachment.
