Starting in mid-November, the Municipal District of Bonnyville will launch its Coyote and Wolf Reduction Program in partnership with the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society.
The program will begin Nov. 16 and run until March 2027, subject to budget approval in the new year.
According to M.D. officials, the partnership aims to reduce livestock predation, support wildlife populations and improve recreational opportunities.
The program is only open to M.D. of Bonnyville residents and those who submit wolves for payment will have to sign an agreement with the M.D. confirming that animals submitted through the program are not eligible for payment or compensation under any other program.
The municipality will accept animal submissions at the Environmental Services Shop, located at 117-61501 Highway 41 in the Aurora Borealis subdivision.
Drop-off hours are Monday to Thursday from 7:30 to 8 a.m. and 3 to 4 p.m., and Friday from 7:30 to 8 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m.
