CO H Residents Say Hunting Allowed Too Close to Newtonville School by Michelle Wyton Staff Writer Clarington's hunting committee is being asked to look into regulations controlling hunting near a number of schools in the municipality. The issue was brought to Clarington Council by a group of Newtonville residents, residents, including Sharon Steele, who feel that current current bylaws, do not adequately adequately protect children. "Newtonville Public School is surrounded by prime wildlife habitat and screened by trees and hedgerows," she said. "Of most concern is the fact that the school land is zoned agricultural, which means the current 100 metre hunting setback docs not apply."

They are asking that the setback be greater than 100 metres. As well, Steele included a list of other schools which may have similar concerns.
