Do fishing guides need to have a clean criminal record ?
This guy should not be working in the industry with that kind of anger / violence / dangerous operation of a power boat issues......
Can the BC guide association take action against his guide license?
"The following criteria must be met in order to proceed with an application for an Angling Guide Licence:
Must be nineteen (19) years of age or older.
Must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada (i.e. a landed immigrant).
Must satisfy the Regional Fish and Wildlife Manager, within the region you intend to operate, that you have a working knowledge of the Wildlife Act and Regulations. This is done through the successful completion of the Angling Guide exam.
A person who is an angling guide must have public liability insurance, in an amount of no less than $2 million, that is:
a. Applicable to his or her angling guide business, and
b. In effect during the period for which the angling guide will operate."

https://portal.nrs.gov.bc.ca/web/client/-/angling-guide-licenceI don't see any requirement for licensed guides to be members of the BC guide Association so I can't see that they can take any action.
BTW unless it's changed Guides can employ assistant guides who are not licensed and can take anglers out fishing on their own...without a Licensed Guide present.
