Local hunters, anglers, farmers, and indigenous people are encouraged to take part in a special town hall meeting later this month, hosted by the Manitoba Wildlife Federation.
The meeting, which was originally supposed to have been held in late March but had to be cancelled then due to poor weather, has been rescheduled to April 29th at 7 pm at the 8th Avenue Hall in Dauphin.
Rob Olson is a Senior Science Advisor with the Manitoba Wildlife Federation.
"It bis going to be talking to licensed hunters and anglers and landowners and agricultural producers about the threats that we see facing people that use land for their livelihood or their pastimes, whether it is hunting or fishing. So we see unprecedented threats coming at us at this moment, and it is really a chance \to share information and get feedback from the local community."
Some of those issues include a 75 per cent cut in Moose Tags last fall, a proposal for nine new federal protected areas in Manitoba, as well as maintaining access for everyone to resources in the province.
