| Protecting our Fish and Wildlife for Future Generations |
The Fish and
Wildlife Enforcement Division is responsible for
the enforcement of
provincial and federal laws and regulations relating to our fish and
wildlife resources.
Not only is our hunting and fishing world renowned, but it is a part of our
heritage.
Poaching is one of the
major threats to our fish and wildlife.
It is
important that we continue to protect these resources for future
generations.
You can do your part by
reporting suspected poaching activity anonymously by calling toll-free to
1-877-820-0999. Officers are available
on a 24/7 basis to receive your call. Tips to
