ALBERTA'S
CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE RESPONSE PROGRAM
FISH & WILDLIFE October 2, 2007 Chronic Wasting Disease Surveillance and Deer Hunting Opportunities for 2007 You are encouraged to share the attached information with your members and associates. Copies of this and further information outlining the efforts of Sustainable Resource Development's Fish and Wildlife Division to control CWD are also available on the website www.srd.alberta.ca/fishwildlife/livingwith/diseases/. Extensive information about how hunters can help control CWD is covered in the Alberta Guide to Hunting Regulations 2007, pages 27, 65-66 and inside front cover as well. Hunters are reminded to submit deer heads from Wildlife Management Units along the Alberta/Saskatchewan border from Cold Lake to Medicine Hat. Units immediately adjacent the border require mandatory submission of heads, while WMUs immediately west of those on the border are voluntary submission areas. Freezers (available 24-hours) for dropping off heads are present throughout these WMUs, plus in Edmonton and Calgary. Maps of freezer locations are posted widely and also are included on our disease web pages. Hunting opportunities are increased through quota licences in WMUs 234 (at Chauvin/Edgerton), and portions of 150 and 151 (next to Empress). These quota licences are available through the under-subscribed licence system or as landowner licences for local residents. Hunters will be notified of CWD test results within 6 weeks of submission of deer heads. Other Important CWD Documents:

ASRD NEWS RELEASE Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, Fish and Wildlife Division will be conducting response programs as part of the ongoing efforts to control chronic wasting disease (CWD) in wildlife management units (WMUs) 150, 151 and 234 during March 2007. There will be opportunities for the public to assist Fish and Wildlife staff in various activities. There are two different types of public opportunities: volunteers and non-volunteers. The following material outlines these opportunities. Volunteer involvement must be restricted to activities with low risks to personal safety in order to ensure SRD Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) and Risk Management obligations and requirements are fulfilled. We would appreciate it if you could pass this along to contacts that you have who may be interested. Individuals wishing to participate can fax in the appropriate application in the attached document to 780-422-9557. Participants will be contacted as opportunities are identified by the public assistance program coordinator.
