Canadian Laws

Gold panning rules in Canada are set mostly at the provincial and territorial level, so the answer to where you can pan depends on where you are standing.

These posts walk through the rules for each province and territory, including permits and licences where they apply, so you know what to check before you head out.

Start with the Canada gold panning laws page for a full overview, and use the Pan for Treasure homepage when you are ready to explore other topics.
