  Opposition Grows Against Sunday Gun Hunting
   
  Now that Sunday gun hunting is a reality, we’re hearing more and more voices opposing it.  As of September 2006, gun hunting on Sundays is permitted across Ontario, making every single day open to sport hunting.  
  This hit home for many rural residents with the opening of the waterfowl hunt, but the deer gun hunting season will open in many regions across Ontario in two weeks, and the sounds of rifles and deer being killed will be non-stop for the next several weeks. 
  Approximately, 100,000 animals will be killed in the next four weeks across Ontario. 
  In addition, the McGuinty government is proposing to increase deer hunting opportunities, yet again, by developing economic incentives for private landowners to open their land to sport hunters.  This effectively creates private individual hunt camps, with no monitoring or consideration for adjacent properties. They are also proposing to create educational programs discussing the problem of “nuisance” deer.

  Anyone needing assistance in opposing the expansion of Sunday gun hunting in their area, please contact the Peaceful Parks Coalition.   Municipal governments can rescind their decision to allow sport hunting on Sundays at any time.
