I need a list of the blaze orange requirements for all across Canada.

Is there are site, link, or a single list of all of them?

It would save me having to find each one at a time.

If someone can post the requirements it would be great.

If a list does not exist on gun nutz perhaps it could be stickied?

Thanks hunters! :)
 
Ontario is 400sq inches of uninterrupted blaze (front and back) and blaze cap, during any open big game firearm season.

Not entirely correct. Small game hunters dont have to wear orange during gun bear season. They do during gun moose and deer (as well as those gun hunting moose and deer).

Bear hunters can remove the orange once they are in a tree stand. Waterfowlers exempt from wearing orange.

The objective of the hunter orange regulation is to maximize
hunter safety without negatively impacting hunting success.
Under this regulation, all licensed hunters, including
bow hunters and falconers, hunting during the gun season
for deer and moose, are required to wear hunter orange.
This requirement does not apply to persons who are hunting
migratory game birds, except woodcock.
In addition, all licensed black bear hunters hunting during
the open season for black bear are required to wear hunter
orange except when in a tree stand.
Where there is a gun season for moose or deer concurrent
with an open black bear season, then the only persons
exempted from wearing hunter orange are waterfowl hunters,
as indicated above.
A hunter orange garment and head cover must be worn. The
hunter orange garment must cover a minimum of 2,580
square cm (400 square inches) above the waist and be visible
from all sides. Open mesh or camouflage hunter orange must
not be part of the 2,580 square cm. A hunting coat or vest
generally meets this requirement. The hunter orange head
cover may have: open mesh; a peak or brim colour other than
hunter orange, and a crest or logo which does not completely
cover the hunter orange on the side where it is affixed. The
head cover must not contain camouflage material.
 
BC has no rules on color for outer clothing, whatsoever. Same argument is used as was mentioned about Alberta. A compulsory color for hunters, would mean that all those non hunters who are in the bush, in normal clothes, would be at a greater danger of being shot.
The basic idea of bright colors for hunters is faulted. What they are saying is bright color, hunter. In other words, don't use the common sense method of being 200% sure of your target. No bright color, must be an animal, bang.
And if it turns out to be a hunter in normal clothes, I'll be in the clear, because he was in violation of the laws on wearing bright colors.

Qc

Wearing a safety vest is mandatory

All hunters, guides and individuals accompanying a hunter must wear a fluorescent, orange-coloured safety vest, at least 2 580 square centimetres (400 square inches) in size, covering the back, shoulders and chest. Hunters must make sure that this vest remains visible at all times and from every angle, even when a backpack is worn.

However, the wearing of this safety vest is not obligatory in the following cases: hunting American crow, wild turkey, rock dove or migratory birds; hunting moose, white-tailed deer and black bear during the season when only bow and crossbow hunting is allowed; hunting frogs; hunting hares and Eastern cottontail using a snare; hunting coyote, wolf and red fox (silver, cross or red) from December 1st to March 31st; when hunting with a bird of prey and nobody is in possession of a weapon; when hunting with a bow or crossbow in a hunting sector reserved for the exclusive use of bows or crossbows in a wildlife territory and when all hunters use a bow or crossbow when hunting in a sector of an outfitter establishment with exclusive hunting rights.
