CAM – MOOSE LICENSE SADNESS
The New Brunswick moose hunting license lottery is complete and like any game
of chance there were some winners and some losers.
A Malauze woman is disappointed after the increased odds still didn’t help
her get a shot at the big prize. She has been unable to get a license for
more than 20 years.
Marie-Josette Roy tells the Tribune her name has never come up and her
husband has only gotten picked twice in his close to 30 years in the pool.
Campbellton’s Jessy Akerley was on the other side of lottery winning his
first license after 9 years of trying.
Of the more than 55-thousand applications submitted, only 4,744 licenses were
issued. The season runs from September 24th to the 28th.

ALL – INDIGENOUS CHILD POVERTY
A new study released today says Indigenous children are more than twice as
likely to live in poverty than other children in Canada, with little
improvement over the last decade.
Researchers at the Assembly of First Nations and the Canadian Centre for
Policy Alternatives found that just under half of First Nation children, both
on- and off-reserve, live in poverty.
That figure tops 50 per cent when looking at First Nations children living
on-reserve.
In fact, the on-reserve child-poverty rate is roughly three times the
national rate of 17.6 per cent reported in the 2016 census.
