Perry Canning, MHA - Labrador West, is pleased to announce, on behalf of Minister Kevin Aylward, that effective immediately the Seal Lake Caribou Zone will be opened to caribou hunting. Mr. Canning stated: "There have been reports of significant numbers of caribou in the area which collaborates with the current distribution of satellite collared animals in this hunting zone. We are pleased to provide residents with this hunting opportunity."

"The staff of my department will continue to monitor the movement of the George River Caribou Herd and additional areas may open, pending movements of George River animals into other areas," said Minister Aylward. He further added that he wishes all hunters a successful hunt and encourages everyone to exercise caution and safety in their pursuit.
