First there are plans to reduce the problem of nations, but need to go beyond BC

Three coastal first nations have worked together to work together, planning to move a grust bear that is causing problems on the island of Texda – away from the Sunshine coast of BC – but so far, the province has not signed.

On 13 June, the BC government stated that there was no “Kill order” for the bear-but also that it was not “a candidate for transfer,” because it had already moved twice, before returning to human-land areas.

On Texda, a community of about 1,000 people is divided on the fact that the bear should be killed or removed or left alone.

But the acting manager of the land and resources of the nation’s land and resources, Eric Blane – who is also an MLA with Tla’amin Nation – thinks the solution is to trap the bear and take it to a butter inlet in the north -west, where it can stay with other coastal grust and may not go back.

Previously, the bear was transferred to Jarvis Inlet, which is about 75 km away.

Blane said he has worked with neighboring Shishlah and Tla’in nations, and Homalco First Nation, which is to prepare a plan for transfer.

Texada Island is located near the intersection of Tla’amin and Shíshálh region.

The nations will work together to trap the stewardships guardian bear, which will then be taken by the boat, and possibly in the aircraft, the orford bay in the beute inlet, which is in the Homalco region.

“We have plans; we have money to do it. What we do not have the help and support of the province,” said Eric Blanne.

He said that they are meeting with the provincial authorities and they have received some support, but it is also reported that what they are asking is out of the current policy – and allegations can be given rise under the Wildlife Act to capture and move the bear without permits.

“This actually reflects unity between coastal parent programs that are really, you know what we should do, which is protecting natural resources and wildlife within our areas.”

Homalco, head of Homalco, who is a cousin of Eric Blane, thinks that it is a great scheme.

“When Eric called me to see about this bear, who could be killed potentially, I thought … we would give it a chance in Butte,” he told CBC News.

Homalco has a tourism company that runs a grizzly tour from Vancouver Island to Butte Inlet.

“We have an area that is probably five kilometers away where salmon becomes and we get about 50 to 60 grizzle which comes there when salmon moves,” Darren Blane said.

He said that this is a place where Grizzles are ready for winter.

“So yes, this is a good place for them and it is good for our tourism.”

The Ministry of Water, Land and Resources said in an email late on Friday that it was known about the scheme and that there is a ongoing conversation between the first nation and it between the Grizzly Bear foundation.
