On February 21, 2013 we tragically lost Officer Lavers in the area of Eastern Bluey Pond, when his snowmobile that he was operating broke through the ice.
Our sincere condolences go out to the family and friends of Officer Howard Lavers, they are in our thoughts and prayers today.
His memory lasts with all past, present and future Conservation Officers in Newfoundland and Labrador.

We hope that everyone who enjoys the outdoor activities that this province offers can spare a few minutes and make sure they keep safety in the forefront of any planned activities.
