Big Trout Lake Opposes MNR Moose Survey

The chief of a remote First Nation says the province needs its permission to do an aerial moose survey.

Chief Donny Morris says he opposes a survey the Ministry of Natural Resources expects to conduct around K-I this weekend, including on the community's traditional territory.

Morris says he doesn't trust how the MNR will use the results.

He fears the government will use the survey to inform residents that there's not enough moose to hunt.
