The announcement was made on Thursday in Victoria.

Upon the completion of training, officers will be dispatched throughout the north including:

  • Bella Coola
  • Chetwynd
  • Mackenzie
  • Prince George

The hiring will provide a necessary boost to conservation officer numbers in BC with the total number now coming in at over 160.

New resources will also be added to locations with the highest degree of need.
