In 2018, Parks Canada launched the Wild About Wolves project because there was an increase in human interactions with the animals.

In all of Joe Martin's 68 years of living on the west coast of Vancouver Island, he said he's only encountered a wolf once.

There are people within Nuu-chah-nulth communities who continue to keep the wolf ritual secret, he said. Besides their spiritual and cultural significance within Nuu-chah-nulth communities, wolves also play a vital role in the ecosystem, explained Todd Windle, coordinator of Parks Canada's Wild About Wolves project.

Since the program began, Windle said there has been a decline in the number of interactions with wolves. Through more understanding about wolves, Windle said he hopes people develop more respect for the animal. “It's a little hard for us to think about now because it's not how we are in society anymore,” he said.
