CWD Positive Detection Map

The map below has been produced by the Province of British Columbia. It is updated as new positive cases are detected on the provincial website.

All results are posted to the results page, aside for positive cases. Positive cases are not displayed to respect the privacy of the submitter. Positive results are available in the Map of Positive Detections in B.C. (PDF, 931KB).

Finding your CWD Sample Results

When you submit your sample and complete the ear card provided, record the CWD number of the card (see the How to submit a sample poster (PDF, 571KB) for an example). This is your unique number for looking up your CWD results on the test results page. Many hunters take a picture of their completed ear card before submission to ensure they retain their CWD Number.

If a positive result is found, the hunter will be contacted directly and immediately. An investigation will be carried out to determine the location of the meat and carcass parts. The hunter will be advised not to consume the meat (based on public health recommendations) and to arrange for proper disposal.

There is no legal obligation to turn in the meat. It is the hunter’s choice to turn in the meat of a CWD-positive animal. It is strongly recommended that the meat not be eaten and be turned in so that it can be properly disposed of in a licensed incineration facility or designated landfill. Proper disposal is critical to avoid environmental contamination.
