Hunting on SNC lands As fall approaches, it is a special time for many residents of the area. The crisp cool air brings a change in the seasons as summer gives way to autumn, and hunting season. South Nation Conservation (SNC) owns some 12,000 acres, including forests and wetlands, distributed across its 4,384 square kilometers jurisdiction. SNC allows hunting on some of its properties and is reminding hunters that they require a hunting permit before accessing SNC owned lands. The cost for a hunting permit is $100 and allows hunters to access over 8,500 acres of forested land. Hunters are also required to have a minimum $2 million dollar liability insurance, which can be obtained through a membership with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.The associated hunting permit fees help support various youth education programs such as the Youth Hunter Apprenticeship Program, in partnership with the South Nation Delta Waterfowl Chapter.“Hunters require written permission to hunt on SNC lands. It’s a common misconception that because lands are owned by a public agency such as SNC, they may be used without permission,” said Philip Duncan, SNC Property and Approvals assistant II.

L’édifice avait dû être fermé d’urgence, quelques jours avant Noël, après qu’on eût découvert que l’orgue de 40 000 livres avait causé un affaissement du plancher du jubé. Une messe sera célébrée à la cocathédrale le 8 septembre prochain. — photo Francis Racine La cocathédrale La Nativité rouverte

for species such as white-tailed deer, moose, waterfowl, and upland game. “Providing direction to hunters on where they can hunt allows SNC to monitor the various uses that take place on our land, and ensure user safety,” added Philip Duncan. He emphasized that hunters should exercise caution when accessing SNC property, as some areas may have multiple users at any given time. “We encourage visitors to wear high visibility clothing in order to help identify themselves to other users.” – Francis Racine
