The seminars, held by the Coldstream Deer Group, were information sessions to encourage more deer farming farming in the area. John Oudyk, owner of J&A Poultry, also raises deer. "Some of my neighbors have expressed an interest in deer farming and were inquiring inquiring about it, so I brought in the deer group to answer their questions," said Mr. Oudyk. Mr. Oudyk received his first stock of red deer from Coldstream in January of 1990. This year, he completed his second successful fawning fawning season. He now has a total total of 72 deer. Mr. Oudyk first heard about deer farming through the media. After seeing a deer farming farming exhibition at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, his interest was piqued. "I became very interested and just pursued it from there," he said. The red deer are imported imported from New Zealand where there are over 5000 deer farmers.

Feels Changes to Health Act are Too Restrictive Social workers, child care workers and others in the helping professions could be facing a whole new set of legal legal risk if changes to the Regulated Health Professions Professions Act are put into effect. That's the message Canada's Canada's largest union delivered to the Standing Committee on Social Development at Queen's Park this afternoon. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) told the all-party committee hearing submissions on Bill 43, the Act's so-called "diagnosis "diagnosis clause" presents "considerable "considerable risk to social workers workers and other caregiving professionals, professionals, and may effectively effectively prohibit them from providing essential services." services." Under the proposed changes, front-line workers would be prohibited from "communicating a conclusion conclusion that identifies a disease, disease, disorder or dysfunction." dysfunction." Under this scenario, for instance, a social worker might not be able to say to a client "you appear to have a drinking problem", even though the evidence of this Iming. (PRON: jih- NAK), a Children's Aid Society Society (CAS) worker and president president of CUPE Local 2316, told committee members "the concept of diagnosis is an essential component of the work of social workers and child care workers. The luxury of diagnosis by a regulated regulated professional is often not available." "Social workers are already already heavily regulated in a number of areas and further regulations simply would not benefit the public," said Gignac. "CUPE's preferred solution," said the CAS worker, "would be to reword the Act' so that front-line workers cannot identify a MEDICAL disease or disorder." disorder." In its submission, CUPE emphasized that it is not opposed opposed to the regulations of health professions and recognizes recognizes the benefits society reaps from these' regulations. regulations.

More and more upscale restaurants want to serve it. "Venison has a very distinctive distinctive taste that people really like." The health characteristics characteristics of venison are also selling selling points. "It's high in protein and lower in fat than beef, " he said. Mr. Bringans also noted that deer are very easy to look after, which attracts farmers. Red deer are suited to the Canadian climate. And, for most of the year, no special shelter is reouired. Feeding tne deer is relatively relatively inexpensive. "A beet-type pasture is fine. Deer aren't fussy," Mr. Bringans commented. Furthermore, red deer are highly immune to dis : ease. Mr. Oudyk also men tioned that they quire a lot of land. "Red deer are good for raising on small acreage farms," he said. But getting started in deer farming is expensive, admitted Mr. Oudyk. The .cost of the initial stock is high and a minimum minimum two-metre fence must be built to contain the animals. animals. According to the Coldstream Coldstream Deer Group, however, however, the returns on deer in Canada have been more than three times the returns on beef. "It's beginning to pay off now," said Mr. Oudyk. Apparently other farmers are seeing the fruits of their labours. Already, there are over 60 deer farms in Ontario. And the numbers are growing. There are numerous others others in other parts of Canada and the United States.
