HUNTING, ANGLING AND TRAPPING PHOTOS WANTED

The Ministry of Environment is inviting the public to submit their favourite hunting, fishing and trapping themed photos for potential use in the annual Hunters' and Trappers' Guide and the Anglers' Guide.

"Providing an opportunity for the public to submit photos not only encourages wider public participation in outdoor recreation activities, but also allows us to highlight these activities that are an integral part of the province's heritage," Environment Minister Nancy Heppner said.

The Government of Saskatchewan introduced The Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Heritage Act this past fall to recognize that these activities are part of our way of life, now and in the future.

Photos will be accepted on an ongoing basis for use in this year's and/or subsequent years' guides.

Criteria for submitting photos and submission details are available at www.environment.gov.sk.ca/photos.
