CROWN GAME PRESERVES 



The first action to establish Crown Game Preserves in accordance with 

 provisions of the Game and Fisheries Act was provided in the year 1917. 

 In every year since then the area thus set aside as sanctuary in which the 

 more desirable species of game could exist unmolested and undisturbed has 

 been extended by the creation of additional Game Preserves. During 1933, 

 such action was taken in respect of nine areas of varying extent in scattered 

 sections of the Province, involving some 2,063,000 acres, a large percentage 

 of which was contained within the Nipigon-Onaman, Lake of the Woods and 

 Pipestone Lake Crown Game Preserves. Provision was also made to ex- 

 tend the boundaries of the Abbey Dawn Crown Game Preserve in the 

 County of Frontenac. At the present time there is in excess of five and 

 three-quarter million acres included within the confines of the existing 

 sixty-nine Crown Game Preserves. Following is information concerning the 

 Preserves established during the year.
