Humane Trapping

Implementation Phases

Certified trap models are given exclusive identification letters that manufacturers will have to mark on traps they manufacture in 2007 and beyond. Trappers may still legally use these same trap models after the implementation of the AIHTS (2007), regardless of whether they bear this mark.

This list will be updated as additional traps are certified. Please consult Manitoba Conservation on page 24, the Manitoba Trappers Association (page 15) or the Fur Institute of Canada (page 15).

Phase 1:
Certified traps regulated for trapping the following species

Phase 2:
Year of Implementation to be Determined - Certified Traps to be regulated later for trapping the following species:

Although the traps listed in Phase 2 are certified for the following species and trap categories, the year of entry into force of the obligation to use only AIHTS Certified traps has not yet been determined. This date, which could vary from one species to another, will be known at least three years in advance.

Until then, traps that are currently legally permitted can still be used.

Check with Manitoba Conservation for regulations related to trap uses applicable in your trapping area.
