Hunting Ban Proposal - Gimli
Currently hunting is allowed around Gimli Peak in Valhalla Provincial Park. This has created some conflicts between climbers and hunters. One case that reportedly involved a shooting of a mountain goat close to some climbers.
However, there is a proposal to ban hunting in the Mulvey Basin/Gimli Area but the deadline for comments on this proposal is on Friday Dec 9. The following URL provides a chance to make comments on-line. The process is not simple but please take the time to create and receive an account and then fill in the comment form.
