ANNUAL REPORT, 1944-45 31 



ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



In conclusion I desire to express general satisfaction with the services 

 rendered by the various members of the Departmental staff, both in the Main 

 Office and in the Field. They performed their duties in a conscientious manner, 

 and were generally courteous in their contacts with the public with whom they 

 had any dealing. 



Local Fish and Game Protective Associations and the Northern Ontario 

 Tourist Trade Association, as well as their various officers, have cooperated with the 

 Department in our efforts to secure strict observance of the legislation provided 

 for the protection of fish and game in the Province and in our work to further ex- 

 tend and develop conditions favourable to the possible improvement of the wild- 

 life division of our natural resources, and it would be extremely difficult to es- 

 timate the value of the results of this co-operation. It is superfluous to add that 

 this assistance has somewhat relieved the burdens of administration and it is very 

 deeply appreciated. 



Many other organizations and individuals have assisted with desirable 

 advice and suggestions, and the efforts put forth by Municipal Councils and Con- 

 trolling Organizations in the Townships included in the scheme of Regulated Game 

 Preserve Areas have been of considerable advantage and benefit in bringing to 

 this scheme the success it at present enjoys. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



I am. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



D. J. Taylor 

 Deputy Minister of Game and Fisheries
