Deer Problems Reviewed

Public awareness and education is being seen as the most practical solution in dealing with deer in the town of Fort Frances.

Town officials met recently with representatives from the Ministry of Natural Resources.

The Ministry supports the town's wildlife feeding by-law which prohibits the feeding of deer within town limits, but feels it will still be a couple of years before the deer are impacted.

Plans are in the work to have Ministry personnel discuss the district's deer population and how it relates to Fort Frances at an upcoming council meeting.
