First, they want the policy to | include some ..method of. fishing. to determine .the «number . of Iddges-this area can support; and second, they want to see some standards: of qualifications: set . for angling guides and their. assistants. me During the. board’s Detember: - ~ meéting, director Pete” Weeber pointed out that there are already a number of fishing lodges in the area and suggested there may already be a problem. in dealing with a surplus of lodges. ‘“They’re looking at the © number of guides,’’. she said, ‘but no lodges.” As the proposed policy now stands, the following people would not be considered in the guide count: ‘‘operators of fishing resorts or fishing camps who limit their services to pro- blems seen viding ‘food and . lodging, “boat rentals. or selling fishing equip-~ ment.” oo .. : ~ As far.as guide qualifications are-concernied, Weeber said that in the past somé standards had existed but in the ministry’s cur- rent policy, proposal they’re not even .tentioned, White’ water. proficiency and industrial first aid are two basic qualifications ‘he said’ should be-mandatory. According to a report from administration, the ministry’s -first report, ‘“A“New Approach to Angling Guide Management”’ released December, 1988, did address the issue by. outlining minimum qualifications, Under this proposal, a guide would have to be a Canadian citizen with permanent resident status, be at least 19 years old, and have successfully. completed within the past three years an industrial or wilderness first aid course and hold a current St. John’s Am- bulance standard first aid and CPR certificate. A licenced guide ‘would also have -had to. carry a minimum of $1 million. in public liability insurance, . The proposal also suggested that current angling guide and assistant requirements.should be ‘modified to include..a require:. -ment,.for proficiency in whitewater transportation® and that all new applications should require. proof that the applicant has worked as an.assistant with a guide who has approved whitewater -experience for a period:of-at least one year in the ‘ast three. The ‘second report, “Update on Angling Guide Watmough wants a-less restric- tive definition of a fishing guide -to be included in the - policy. Watmough said he has been told that the existing definition of a fishing guide may be too restric- tive. He suggested that perhaps boat operators should be includ: | ed aswell and asked the regional: . district’s. Planning Committee to, review the definition and recom-: “mend changes to the board.: » Policy’’,- did not address: the: | issue of qualifications according to the report from regional district ‘administration, .and when questioned on the issue the ministry replied that only basics. would -be required: 19 years or older, Canadian citizenship and liability insurance. The regional district board may also soon be asking for another revision.
