Beaver Trapping

The City of Kenora is re-newing its agreement with the Kenora Trappers
Council to deal with nuicence beavers.

The agreement takes effect in mid-May and runs through mid-September.

Councillor Dave McCann says the agreement is beneficial to the city
because it can potentially save hundreds of thousands of dollars in
road repairs caused by dams bursting.

He says last year the Trappers Council captured 21 beaver, and the
year before, they had as many as 41.
