A member of a prominent family-owned Prince George lumber company has been fined $2,500 following an investigation by provincial conservation officers into a citizen's complaint of bear-baiting in a remote B.C. park.
Kevin Novak, who is with Dunkley Lumber Ltd., pleaded guilty May 4 in provincial court to one count of placing bait, Postmedia reported.
Novak placed fish parts above the high-water mark, potentially attracting dangerous wildlife to an estuary in Foch-Gilttoyees Provincial Park in Douglas Channel, about 40 kilometres southwest of Kitimat.
