Correction '
The following correction has
been issued to a recent story
appearing in The Sentinel by the
clerk of the township.
"An error appeared in the
reporting of the rninutes'of West
Wawanosh Township Council by
the clerk. In the report of the visit
of Conservation Officer, Bob Pegg,
the final sentence of the paragraph
should read - 'He, (Bob Pegg)
advised Council that the passage of
a by-law regarding the discharge of
fire-arms is not encouraged by the
Ministry.' The Ministry wishes to
keep private land available for
recreational pursuits, and if con-
cerned land owners have problems
in this area, they should contact the
Ministry of Natural Resources for
assistance."
