Fish and Wildlife Enforcement

 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.
