White Moose

Discussion regarding value and ability to protect the herd of white moose in the west end of the district.
The LCC would like to get more information, possibly invite a “Moose Expert” top a future meeting.

Recommendation to DM - The LCC would support any efforts possible to protect these animals.

University of Toronto student Jason Jabbour - request for participation in development of his Socio-economic survey.

Generally a feeling that this would be good to participate in. Due to the length of time required there may be requirement for two sessions, one during the day and one in the evening.

Regional Wildlife needs analysis
