SUBJECT: Amendment to the Firearms Bylaw #1220 to Exclude Douglas Island.
(Protective Service Meeting ~ June 24, 1992 and August 19, 1992)

RECOMMENDATIGN s

That the proposed amendment to the Firearms Prohibition Bylaw #1220 be
forwarded to Council.

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS :

In the past Douglas Island has been under the Greater Vancouver Regional
District jurisdiction. The discharge of firearms was permitted subject
to all Provincial Firearms and Hunting Regulations.

When Douglas Island became part of the City of Port Coquitiam then the
City Bylaws extend to the island and now prohibit the discharge of

firearms.

The Sturgeon Slough Game Club has requested that Council permit their
club to continue their activities as they have done in the past. This
permission would require that Council amend the Bylaw as indicated .in
the attached form. Ali Provincial Firearms and Hunting Regulation would

remain in force.

The Sturgeon Slough Game Club has prepared information and will have a
representative available as they have requested to speak in open Council.
