The 2024 Canadian Invasive Wild Pig Report summarizes data that represent areas of established wild pigs in participating provinces from 2022 to 2024, locations of verified reports of uncontained pigs in 2024, and on-site field activities conducted by provincial control programs and their collaborators in 2024. It encompasses all wild pig types, including escaped domestic pigs, Eurasian wild boar, and their hybrids.

The data for the 2023 and 2024 Canadian Invasive Wild Pig Report were collected, collated and mapped using the same criteria across the participating provinces. A comparison of the data does not indicate differences in the location of established populations of wild pigs. For more details on the provincial program data, look to the reports referenced by program area.

British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario’s wild pig control programs contributed data to the report. Other provinces and territories are engaged and may contribute information in the future.
Members of the public are encouraged to report wild pig sightings to their provincial control programs. To report a wild pig, contact a local wild pig control program in your area.
Financial support for the report was provided through the AgriAssurance Program under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
