Hunting
Hunting has become controversial over the past few decades, and we have been asked not to promote it by publishing this page. We refuse, because we feel strongly that the slaughterhouse industry is far more barbaric and inhumane than wild game hunting and fishing for food. Whether or not one eats meat is a choice that should be respected by all of us.
- When referencing Ministry of Environment hunting regulations, you’ll find Pender Harbour in Region 2 (Lower Mainland).
- Hunting is not permitted less than 500 m east of the power lines in Kleindale. Hunting, with firearms or bows, and the discharge of firearms is illegal in all Area A (Pender Harbour-Egmont) parks.
- A BC Hunting License does not allow the holder to carry a firearm; a Canadian Firearms Permit is required to hunt with a gun.

Applicants under 18 must apply in the presence of a parent or guardian who will sign an “Acknowledgment of Responsibility” form. Licensed hunters under 18 must be supervised by someone 18 or older who holds a valid BC Hunting License.
BC resident Native Indians do not require a license to hunt for food, ceremonial and social purposes in traditional areas. BC Government hunting regulations do not acknowledge Metis as Native Indians.
