James Dokis Sr. - Conservation Officer
I am the Dokis First Nation Conservation Officer. The goal of the Conservation Officer is to protect our inland lakes and waterways from unauthorized use by non-band members and have permits/passes for visitors to certain areas of our First Nation Territory.
I maintain and enforce band policy in regards to hunting and fishing regulations, keeping observation and enforcing fire hazard guidelines. I also keep an eye on the logging resources not only being harvested but what is leaving the First Nation without authorization.
I participate in surveys in conjunction with the Ministry of Natural Resources to preserve and protect our natural water resource, spawning areas and the availability of the many species of fish here on our First Nation. This ensures our beautiful and bountiful resources are maintained for future generations to use and enjoy.
"Keep conservation and sustainability in mind, when using our resources."
