Re: Shooting Boundaries NOV - 6 1972

‘Meeting with: Don Buchan. Alderman E.W. Mabbett
. Bill Otway Alderman M.A. Thompson ;
Alderman P.F. Ranger L.D. Pollock, City Administrator

After some discussion the following points were brought to the fore.
That in essence the total community is closed without permission from
property owners. Many, if not the majority of hunters who are offenders do not
_ ask permission to hunt and in effect do not have permits. It is felt that the
majority are aware that 4 permit is needed and in effect all are aware that |
permission is required.

Recommendations:

(1). Within our present By-law no minimum fine presently exists and
therefore that should be included to show minimum fine of $50.00

for offences.

Under ITEM C re discharge of firearms, that the distance be changed

to "300 yards" from present 150 yards.
“That in conjunction with the Rod & Gun Club an information flyer be
prepared and distributed to the residents of the "allowed areas"

outlining the proper rights of the individuals and the steps to take

in the event of non-allowed hunters on their property.
That we approach the R.C.M.P. to give us their views and ask them if

they are able to respond to calls re infractions of our By-law.

‘That we write to the game branch and ask that they consider appointing
an auxiliary game officer to the area, in particular, in the first part
of the hunting season,

That signs in the affected area be redone to read:

NOTICE TO HUNTERS

This Area is Closed to Hunting
Other Than by Regulations Under
By-law No. 864
