Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has been detected on a farm in the Laurentians, and the possibility that it may spread now means that it is imperative to determine whether or not the disease is present in the wild deer population. Therefore, for reasons of public health and safety, the Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs (MFFP) has been forced to prohibit hunting and trapping over a limited section of hunting zones 9 west and 10 east, from September 21, 2018 to November 18, 2018.
