Resolution

WHEREAS wolves are increasingly moving southward and posing a threat to life and property in southern agricultural lands;

WHEREAS wolves inhabit a very large territory which limits the effectiveness of traditional predator control measures offered through SCIC;

WHEREAS special licensing requirements and seasonal restrictions also limit the capacity for municipalities and landowners to offer bounty programs in order to control wolf populations;

BE IT RESOLVED that the Ministry of Environment apply the same classification to wolves that is in place for coyotes.
