On February 22, the Capital Regional District's (CRD) Planning, Transportation and Protective Services Committee passed the Regional Deer Management Strategy Terms of Reference unamended. We belive that, as a result, culling the CRD deer is a near certainty.
And on February 24, the injunction residents won in Invermere to halt the area's deer cull was overturned by the BC Supreme Court. The cull is underway.
We are ramping up our campaigning.

Deer in BC
CBC.ca | On The Island
Yesterday's clip starts at 18:40 mark: When it comes to the future of deer in the CRD opinions run strong and contrary, especially when it comes to discussing a possible cull. Some think the thousands of does and bucks are a nuisance wandering into city centres and destroying crops on Saanich farms. And others think they are living animals that deserve our care and protection. On Wednesday there will be a public meeting on this contentious issue. John Ranns is the chair of the Planning, Transportation & Protective Services Committe for CRD.
On today's show at 11 am EST: "The politics of ungulates. Greater Victoria's deer dilemma is attracting national attention. We'll hear from the leader of a federal political party who's in town trying to prevent a cull."
