Summary of Proposal:
This proposed amendment would add a number of additional communities to areas where it is prohibited to possess a loaded firearm in or discharge a firearm across a right of way for public vehicular traffic. This includes several municipalities in the Districts of Rainy River and Kenora who have indicated a desire to be added to these schedules during the period of the open gun seasons for deer in those areas.
The municipalities that are proposed to be added to the schedule are:
In the municipality of Rainy River
the single-tier municipalities of Alberton, Chapple, Dawson, Emo, Fort Frances, La Vallee, Morley, Lake of the Woods, and Rainy River and the geographic townships of Dance (excluding Lyons Bay Road and Lost Creek Road), Kingsford (excluding Fleming Road), Miscampell (excluding Boffin Road), Pratt, Nelles, Spohn and Sutherland
In the municipality of Kenora
the single-tier municipality of Kenora and the geographic townships of Boys, Ewart, Forgie, Gidley, Glass, Gundy, Kirkup, and Pellatt and the unorganized area east of the geographic township of Boys township, south of the geographic township of Pellatt and west of the single-tier municipality of Kenora to the shore of Lake of the Woods
NOTE: In a separate administrative regulation, an amendment was recently made to move schedules under former Regulation 485 and Ontario Regulation 766/94 that were made under the revoked Game and Fish Act and add them a new Part to O. Reg. 663/98 to reflect current municipal boundaries and names.
