Update Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards (AIHTS) certified trap list
Last updated on January 12, 2026The public is invited to comment on the proposed trapping regulation described below.
Status: Proposed
Region: Province-wide
Management unit (MU): Province-wide
Regulation type: Trapping
Species: beaver, bobcat, lynx, otter, raccoon, wolf
Closing date: February 13, 2026 at 4:30 pm PT
Current regulation: Not applicable
Proposed regulation:
Add as certified traps:
- Duke 330 Magnum killing trap for beavers
- Duke 330 Super Magnum killing trap for beaver, bobcat, lynx and otter
- Duke 220 Super Magnum killing trap for raccoon, lynx, bobcat, fisher
- Rudy Red Wolf CS restraining trap for wolf as certified traps
Rationale:
Canada, along with the European Union and Russia, is a signatory of the Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards (AIHTS).
On January 1, 2025, the AIHTS Certified Trap List by Canada was updated, and the Duke 330 Magnum killing trap for beavers, Duke 330 Super Magnum killing trap for beaver, bobcat, lynx and otter, Duke 220 Super Magnum killing trap for raccoon, and Rudy Red Wolf CS restraining trap for wolf were added as certified traps. This would bring B.C. regulations into alignment with this decision.
