Hunters, wildlife enthusiasts and non-residents are asking not to travel to Tahltan Territory

Tahltan Territory’s remote location makes it amongst the most vulnerable in Canada.

With limited healthcare resources, a lack of RCMP resources and a large number of elders Covid-19 presents an elevated threat. The Tahltan Nation is respectfully asking that all hunters, wildlife enthusiasts and all non-residents  refrain from visiting Tahltan Territory or any Tahltan communities during this time.

Only those providing essential services or strictly following approved COVID-19 prevention measures should be going to Tahltan Territory and only if they have no other option. The Tahltan Central Government’s Wildlife Department and Wildlife Guardians will be patrolling Tahltan Territory and asking all visitors to follow appropriate procedures or leave if they choose to ignore the Provincial Health Officer’s COVID-19 guidelines.
