Trapping in Newfoundland and Labrador is regulated under the provisions of the Wild Life Act which is available here: http://www.assembly.nl.ca/legislation/sr/statutes/w08.htm

 

Wild life regulations, including those related to fur harvesting at the following link, are enacted under the authority of this act: http://www.assembly.nl.ca/legislation/sr/regulations/rc961156.htm#16

 

The Wild Life Regulations empower the Minister responsible for wildlife to prescribe the annual Fur-bearing Animals Trapping and Shooting Order. This order outlines the annual season dates, closed areas, and general regulations on the trap-types and methods that may be used. http://www.assembly.nl.ca/legislation/sr/regulations/rc140066.htm
