Subject: HUNTING ACTIVITIES IN THE MUNICIPALITY -
OUR FILE: D05.GE
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to
Council:
1. THAT Report CD-30-98 be received;
2. THAT the firearms by-law for the Municipality of Clarington remain unchanged;
3. THAT the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and the
Durham Regional Police be requested to increase enforcement activities in the area of the Kendal
Crown Lands and the rural areas of the municipality for the purpose of controlling unlawful hunters;
and
4. THAT the individuals listed in Report CD-30-98 be advised of Council's decision and forwarded a
copy of Report CD-30-98.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
At the Council meeting of April 27, 1998, delegations were received from Richard Stephenson and
Eric Atkins regarding hunting activities in the municipality. These individuals stated that they do not feel
safe on their own properties because of the number of trespassing hunters. During the delegations, they
requested that Council ban all hunting in Clarington south of the 8th Concession and that north of the 8th
Concession only the use of shotguns be permitted. It was stated that this would parallel Oshawa and
Whitby's hunting boundaries.
Since these delegations were received, several items of correspondence have been received from area
residents in support of the ban. Also a petition against the ban was delivered on June 11. These items of
correspondence are attached hereto as Attachment No.1. Telephone calls have also been received, both
from individuals in support of and in opposition to the ban.

Review of Other Municipalities
In order to determine the extent of" no hunting" areas in neighbouring municipalities, by-laws from the City
of Oshawa, the Town of Whitby, the Town of Ajax, the Town of Pickering and the Township of Hope have
been reviewed. The following are the findings:

June 22, 1998
It should be noted that when the Township of Hope was contacted to receive a copy of their by-law, the
Clerk commented that the by-law was old and ineffective. In fact, they are looking at the Municipality of
Clarington's by-law as a model upon which to base a new by-law on.
Aqency Comments
In reviewing this matter, Glenn Price of the Ministry of Natural Resources was contacted who indicated that
no complaints were received by the Ministry during the controlled pheasant hunt in 1997. Outside of the
controlled hunt, some complaints were received, however, these complaints are always called in days and,
in some cases, weeks after the occurrence. In accordance with the Games and Fish Act, conservation
officers must lay charges at the time of the occurrence. However, upon investigations, officers have found
no evidence of illegal hunting, ie, spent shells on private property. All of the hunters using the Kendal
Crown lands are advised that there is no hunting on these lands outside of the controlled hunt times. Mr.
Price indicated that many landscapes similar to Clarington exist in Southern Ontario where hunting is
conducted without problems arising.
Norm Jung, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters also confirmed that no complaints were received
during the 1997 pheasant hunt. All rules that were put in place in 1996 (Attachment No.2) were followed
and he is of the opinion that the hunt was better in 1997 than in previous years. For 1998, the same rules
are in place and additional upgrades are being made to the property, ie, installation of toilets, planting of
flowers on the property and grading of the road. Plans are also underway to hold a celebrity hunt and
barbeque.
Protection of Livestock
The Ministry of Natural Resources, the Federation of Anglers and Hunters and the municipality's livestock
valuers have raised concern over the ability of farmers to protect their livestock should a ban be placed on
hunting. In 1997, the Municipality paid compensation to farmers losing livestock to coyotes totalling
$82,719, of which only $3,100 was for damage occurring north of Concession 8. To date in 1998, $16,155
total compensation has been paid, with $4,500 of that amount from locations north of Concession 8. A ban
on hunting would see dramatic increases in the coyote population, resulting in larger numbers of livestock
losses being experienced by local farmers.
Goose Hunt
From September 25 to approximately mid-October of each year, the annual goose hunt is held. During
discussion with the Federation of Anglers and Hunters, concern was raised that should the hunting be
banned, the Municipality of Clarington may experience the same problems that other lakeshore
municipalities do with an explosion in the goose population.
Enforcement
As stated earlier, the Ministry of Natural Resources are only able to lay charges under the Games and Fish
Act at the time of an occurrence. This has caused some difficulty in the past as complaints are received
after the fact.

Report CD-30-98

June 22, 1998
In the early 1990s, the Municipality experienced difficulty with hunters in the south Courtice area. Upon
speaking to the Durham Regional Police and advising them of our concerns, they stepped up patrols and
enforcement in this area and very quickly put an end to the problem.
Staff Sgt. Ted Dionne has been consulted with respect to the recent concerns of citizens in Kendal. He
has indicated that the Police Department will increase patrols and enforcement in that area. He will be
visiting with residents to hear their specific concerns and advise them of the increased police activities.
Recommendations
With the assurances of the Ministry of Natural Resource and the Federation of Anglers and Hunters that
the rules for the Kendal Crown Lands are to be actively enforced in 1998 and the promised assistance of
the Police Department to increase patrols in the area, it is staffs recommendation that a hunting ban not
be put in place for 1998. Following the hunting season, staff will report back to Council on the results of
the combined efforts of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Federation of Anglers and Hunters and the
Police Department.

The Clarington Game Commission is supposed to be on duty in the Kendal Crown Land from
8 A\1 to 5 PM during the hunting season. Last season, t1wre was firearm activity well before
8 A:\1 and well after 5 PI\1. Unfortunately, since those responsible for policing thl~ area arc
nOl :I\'ailablc until 8 AM, there is no one to alert and those hunters that violate the rules arc
loncr QO/1l' bdore 8 1\\11. This is ;1l\vthilw but a controlled hunt.
b ~J J ~)
The lack of effective policing in our area has also :dlcl\'.ni coyote hunters to trespass onto land
WhlT,' hunting is not permitted and harass the landowners. This past winter, when driving up
bdlind a hunter near our hOl1ll" he purposely slowed down, blocking me from entering my
own driveway for a few IllOmCl1ts. This type of aggravation and harassment is getting worse
with each passing season. Pr,'vious attempts to improve hunting in this arCl have failed and
it is time that a solution is rc;,clwd.
[ complet,'ly support the bid of the concerned citizcns of Cbrington in restricting hunting
practicl's in Ollr arca.
Y(lllL'; sincerely,

May 19, 1998.
Honorable Mayor Hamre & Councilors
Hunting in Clarington is a public safety issue. I am
concerned for the safety of my children and their friends when
they go out and play. Some hunters have trespassed on our
property and a serious accident could happen when hunting is
taking place where the children are playing.
I am aware that some people feel that the hunt is needed to
control the wolves and coyotes. It is the wolf hunters that I see
hunting using dogs and some of them respect no boundaries and
are hunting too close to peoples homes with high powered rifles.
Most of the farms in this area have posted NO HUNTING signs
because of the d3nger and the constant trespassing. I know that
the wolf hunters are lucky to get a couple of wolves/coyotes after
a season of day long hunts. Certainly there are mor8 effective
ways to control tile wolf/coyote problem rather than riski ng
public safety.
Clarington is a gl'owing community and hunting cannot be
safely enjoyed near" people's Ilomes. There is a-~Bt of open space
for hunting in the Ganaraska forest where this sport could be
enjoyed with gl'eater safety than endangering Clarington
residents. I agree that hunting should be banned south of the
eighth concession and shotguns only north of the eighth.
Sincerely;

TYPED AS WRITTEN
(May 3/98 issue) MESSAGE
"Clarington this week" is reporting Hunter1s freely,
going on private property, without permission on posted property.
in conjested areas of people on cocession #8, 4 mIles
north of my property oomplaint (in 1995)
They are requesting council to pass a law, with
stiff penalities, to make people realize that, car speed,
hunting with "people killing weapons II is no longer
acceptable, as Durham region is becoming the bedroom
for Tononto, pickering, Oshawa employees.
lhis was my contention, when I appeared
before you and your enforcement officer, in your
office. You, believe lived on concessllon ##8,
prior to becoming Mayor, so you're familiar with their area.
Owners, who witness these break-ins are
generally alone, when these people.are breaking the
law, other Durham region cities & Town have had
to stop this behaviour, before some animal, child or
adult is killed. concession speed signs are also
necessary, before another fatality occurs, as concession #3 have them.
I have since met with Onto representative,
John O'Toole M.P., and our Federal reprsentative, Alex
Sheppard M.P., office in Port Perry, Onto about this
dangerous practice.
I think Council should support these
protesting taxpayers rights. Thank you!
