This past weekend the @_BCCOS issued 26 violation tickets for illegal campfires in the Coastal Fire Centre. That’s unacceptable. This kind of activity puts all of us at risk. We have to do better. Please follow the fire prohibitions in your region.   #BCWildfire

Good to be with frontline conservation officers at Penticton’s NAWEOA Conference. A great opportunity to connect with @_BCCOS teams and officers from across 🇨🇦 to hear about important work addressing illegal dumping, wildlife concerns, and invasive mussels inspections.

Our #FisheryOfficers recently worked alongside @_BCCOS to help rescue a stranded #sturgeon near Agassiz. The 8ft+ fish was carefully transported and released into a section of the #FraserRiver where it could swim freely.
