No More Belugas For Sport Ban Ends Sport Beluga Hunts
The federal government bans sport beluga whale killings by issuing no sport licences. Environment Minister Jack Davis and Northern Affairs Minister Jean Chertien cite concerns over the sport and hunting methods. Licensed sport hunting began in 1965, peaked in 1968, with no catches since 1969. Belugas, about 12 feet long and 1,000 pounds, reside mainly in Hudson Bay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Native North communities retain the right to hunt for food.

It called for a higher minimum, proposing 60 to 75 percent of Manitoba’s average wage, which could approach $2.50 per hour, far above the current $1.75 for adults and $1.50 for younger workers. The Manitoba Federation of Labor also backs $2.50 an hour. RECORD SNOWFALL: Canada’s largest snowfall 880 inches at Kemman BC in 1956 57.
