IF you have been directed to self-isolate for 14 DAYS by either a Health professional or the contact tracer for EMC, you are required to self-isolate for 14 DAYS and self monitor for symptoms.

All events on Territory are currently cancelled.
We understand that a lot of people are using their newfound time to get out and go hunting. During this crisis is worth reminding everyone to respect wildlife, take only what you need and use all that you take. Please be aware that cows are pregnant during this period. Allowing them to produce calves will help the declining populations recover. Aerial surveys show that 75% of all moose close to the communities are cow/calves. In addition, please be safe when out on the land as grizzly bears will be waking up from hibernation.
