COMMUNITY FEAST & GATHERING
FALL MOOSE HUNT - CALL FOR MULTIPLE HUNTERS
In preparation for the Fort Chipewyan fall moose hunts, ATC is seeking moose hunters to support community food sharing.
Hunters are compensated for their time, gas, and incidental costs from the Harvest Support Grant.
Any harvested moose are shared with the Fort Chipewyan community at the Community Feast & Gathering being planned for September/October.
Hunters will be encouraged to share their knowledge around traditional hunting and the land at the Gathering.
Interested moose hunters must apply by September 16, 2024.
