Bill No. 65 of 1942. A BILL TO AMEND THE GAME ACT, 1941. NOTE. This Bill amends The Game Act,

Section 33 was intended to permit the hunting of big game north of township 69 without a license in cases where the game was necessary for food. The purpose of the amendment is to exclude the s-ettled and cultivated farming area in the Peace River district from the area to which the

section applies.

Section 63 is amend-ed. All areas originally within the Banff and Jasper Parks w-ere declared to he game preserves. Several small areas of land have been excluded from these parks by recent alterations to their boundaries. This amendment provides that they shall also cease to be game preserves. The amendment to
