NSF&G President Rob Chipman met with newly elected North Van-Seymour MLA Susie Chant and Constituency Assistant Eli Mallin February 9 over Zoom.

This initial meeting was a great chance for our local MLA to get to know about our club, the BCWF, and the concerns about fish and wildlife management that club members have.

We discussed reconciliation, the lack of funding for fish and wildlife management, as well as the need for the increased application of science and Indigenous knowledge in decision making.

It’s important that meetings like this be regular, and that we hold them with as many MLAs as possible. Contact Rob at rob@robchipman.net if you’d like some help doing this sort of thing.
