The BC Government has mandated that all indoor events (50 people or less) require persons attending to show "proof of vaccination" via BC's vaccine card. Hence it is mandatory for you to present provincial proof of vaccination when enter the club for the CORE course. We will also take your temperature reading each morning of the course with the use of a non-contact thermometer.
The Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) course encourages safety and conservation in the enjoyment of the outdoors. Successful completion of the CORE course enables participants to obtain a BC Fish and Wildlife ID (FWID) which permits the purchase of an annual hunting license and participate in Limited Entry Hunting draws. A Firearms License (PAL) is not required for the CORE course. The CORE course includes a multiple choice exam and firearms handling exam. The multiple choice exam is based on the CORE manual and the Hunting & Trapping Synopsis. A minimum of 75% is required to pass the exams. Proof of successful CFSC completion through presentation of your CFSC Non-Restricted Course Report, provides an exemption from the firearms handling exam.
The CORE course is a two day course offered on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am to approximately 5:30pm in the Clubhouse of the Vancouver Gun Club. For details on the firearms course, please see the Firearms Course page.
