that is most important, providing objective data for the city while helping to educate anglers of all ages. Denise Reimer was the only councillor not supportive of restocking the lake. She said there are other options, such as fishing off the dock at Canoe. “I would like to see us wait until we get a definitive answer as to whether this is affecting the painted turtles and whether we See Citizen on page 3
