On February 7,8 & 9, 2020, the
Moncton & Area Trappers Council held a trapper education
course at the DNRED office in Dieppe. There were 24
students in attendance who all successfully passed the
course. There were 9 instructors who assisted with the
course. They were Jim Marriner, Gerry Williamson, Dwight
Robertson, Kevin White, Craig Smith, Charles Leblanc,
Oswald McFadden, James Ritchie and Yvon Morais. Bree
Crawford from DNRED also assisted with the course.
Charles Leblanc donated traps and Yvon Morais donated
stretchers that were won by Bryan Wiget and Carter
Nicholson in a draw. The MATC also had a draw to
reimburse the cost of the course to one of the juniors
who successfully passed. This was also won by Bryan
Wiget. Congratulations!
