Please find attached a letter about the spring bear hunt. In my experience, Ecotourism provides more economic opportunities than hunting.
Personally I don't support hunting bears -- especially with bait. I understand and support First Nations Peoples rights for hunting and support those rights being different than for non-First Nations. Overall, I think there is more income to be made, and better jobs with tourism. But it also means the province needs to promote tourism and encourage reinvestment in tourism infrastructure because much of our infrastructure in Ontario (hotels, transportation, interpretation, food, and services) is not at good as other parts of the world that has well developed ecotourism and outdoor activities.
