In the summer of 2008 I was talking to Gord Redman (snakemaster) and he was telling me about the new reptile control list that were going to becoming into existence in the near future. After much discussion , I suggested we start a reptile club in BC to help fight the new proposed legislation, Gord agreed and thus The BC Reptile Club started. We started getting people involved in the club and luckily for us Steve Lacroix (Death_ADDER) became involved and created and hosted The BC Reptile Club Forum. The starting of the forum in August 2008 was by far the best and biggest tool to get the word out about The BC Reptile Club and proposed legislation. As of March 16 2009 the Ministry of Environment has released some new laws about the exotic reptiles that can be kept in private collections. We as a club disagree with some of the rules and animals mentioned in the control list and have been trying to get some publicity via the media regarding this issue. The BC reptile club is still in its infant stages though we have registered the name and have filed for our non profit status and have started a chapter on Vancouver island so reptile keepers living on the island won't feel left out . We have also had a couple members come through for the club and host a couple social events. We have started trying to get some perks for our paid members including reptile discounts and contests and will be looking to get some more perks for the paid members in the future. In February 2009 The BC Reptile Club started taking paid members and sponsors , the whole point of doing this was to create some capitol so that we can organize and host a reptile show in the future ,we are hoping for fall of 2009. The BC Reptile Club (BCRC) has offered to help the BCSPCA re-home any unwanted reptiles and we will do what we can in the community to help promote the safe keeping of reptiles and amphibians. If you have any thoughts or suggestions we would like to hear from you. Chris Richardson GeckosGoneWild BCRC President |
