The Province has now issued the permit to allow the Municipality to resume its efforts to apprehend the hybrid.  The contractor willing to complete this work has advised that he is available as of May 24, 2011.  In the mean time, the public are reminded to take precautions when hiking, or when allowing small children or pets outdoors unattended.

The public are reminded that if they encounter the hybrid they should:

·         Remain calm

·         Back away slowly

·         Don’t run

·         Take refuge in a safe location

Continued assistance from the public is necessary to successfully track and dispatch the hybrid.  The public is asked to immediately report sightings directly to Bylaw Services by calling (604) 328-5499.  Alternately, sightings can be reported at any time via email to: cbuchanan@bimbc.ca.

A further public advisory regarding the track and dispatch effort will be released prior to the contractor’s arrival.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
