Conflict reduction management options,
including fencing, landscaping alternatives, anti-feeding bylaws and
repellants appear to be best addressed at the municipal level due to
jurisdictional authority in consideration of the recommended changes.
Similarly, as municipalities are the controlling jurisdiction over
local roads, they are best positioned to adopt recommended
infrastructure and administrative recommendations to address
deer-vehicle collision mitigation.
Due to the distributed nature of the
deer population and associated conflicts across the region, it is
also appropriate for the decision on the option of capture and
euthanize to be made at the municipal government level. It is
possible that the CRD could assist in coordinating the provincial
approvals required for those municipalities that choose to apply this
option.
