When Premier David Eby called the 2026 snap election, he said that we need to build a firebreak to protect what makes B.C. special and to keep out “Trump-style politics.” But if you look at the B.C. government’s recent environmental track record, it becomes clear that Triumpian policies have already infiltrated.

Clearcutting ancient old-growth forests? Check.

Using taxpayer dollars to kill keystone species like wolves? Check.

Failing to protect critical habitat for endangered species? Check.

Exporting raw timber while local mills close and communities suffer? Check.

Whichever way you look, the B.C. government is failing to adequately protect irreplaceable biodiversity, build community resilience, and align environmental and economic priorities. What we need is strong leadership across ALL parties to protect the natural environment that makes B.C. truly special.

This election, be sure to use your voice (and your vote!) on October 24th.

🐺 Beyond the cull: the extent of wolf hunting in British Columbia.

In B.C., wolves can be hunted and trapped for much of the year, with some areas permitting both activities year-round. While certain regions limit hunters to three wolves annually, others have no bag limit, allowing unlimited kills. There are also no limits for wolf trapping.

🎯 What methods are permitted? Wolves can be hunted using firearms and bows, or trapped using approved devices, including foothold traps and neck snares. Bait and recorded calls are also permitted.

📋 How are wolf kills tracked? Compulsory reporting of hunted wolves is required in only two of B.C.’s nine wildlife management regions. Wolf-specific trapping reports are similarly limited, although trappers must submit annual harvest reports.

⚠️ Could regulations change? In September 2026, B.C. proposed restricting certain traps near parks, recreation areas and roads, requiring warning signs in municipalities, and mandatory reporting of pets accidentally caught in traps. No additional restrictions for hunting have been proposed.

🌎 How does B.C. compare? Wolf hunting regulations vary widely across Canada and the U.S., from unlimited hunting to strict protections. B.C.’s long hunting seasons and few killing limits represent some of the most lax standards in all of North America.

🐾 Swipe through to learn more about the rules governing wolf hunting and trapping in B.C. and across North America, and how we think wolf management should evolve.

#WolfAwarenessWeek #SaveBCWolves #WolfConservation #WildlifeProtection

🚨It’s Wolf Awareness Week across North America. Did you know that just this year B.C. slaughtered 300 wolves, completely annihilating 32 wolf families and ripping many more apart — all paid for by British Columbia residents?
🔎 Documents we obtained through a Freedom of Information request reveal how the government’s wolf cull works: aerial shooters track collared wolves to find their families, then gun them down in front of one another. Field notes describe shooters killing one or two wolves and letting the collared wolf go, and other times wiping out the entire pack.
🌲For decades, wolves have been blamed for ongoing caribou declines, while logging and oil and gas development keep destroying the habitat caribou need to survive. This year, the government proposed extending the wolf cull for another 5 years, despite declining public support and questionable scientific evidence.
Water, Land, and Resources Stewardship Minister Randene Neill promised to support a third-party audit on the wolf cull. We’re still waiting, and the Ministry refuses to give any updates on their proposal until after the election.
💔32 families. Gone in a single year. Wolves are emotionally intelligent animals with strong familial bonds that are crucial for their survival. Wolves are also keystone species that hold ecosystems together. They deserve better than being treated like target practice.
📣Take action now: contact your local representatives and political candidates to demand an end to the wolf cull.

Visit our website to use our letter-writing tool. And if you are a B.C. voter, don’t forget to vote on October 24!

It’s wolf awareness week! Don’t forget to join our webinar this Wednesday:

WEBINAR: Giving Wolves A Voice — How Bioacoustics Research Reveals Nuances in Wolf Vocal Communication

🗣️Guest Speakers: John and Mary Theberge
📅 October 21, 2026
🕕 12:00 PM (noon) PDT
📍 Zoom Webinar
🎟️Register at the link in the bio. 🔗

We’re joined by guest speakers John and Mary Theberge, a husband-and-wife research duo who have spent six decades studying wolf packs ranging from Algonquin Park in Ontario, to the southwest Yukon, central Labrador, and Arizona, New Mexico, and Yellowstone National Park in the U.S.

Their most recent research focuses on deciphering wolf howls and what they can tell us about wolf communication and behaviour. They’ll share science, stories, and their perspective on why protecting wolves is so important, and answer attendee questions.

We hope to see you there!
