Moose Lady Warns Of Fencing Breach

Moose-fencing advocate Cathy McCollum, who successfully lobbied the previous government to erect moose fencing along a portion of highway 7, is sounding the alarm over damage to the fence in the Petersville area.
McCollum tells CHSJ News she saw two sections of the fence low enough for moose to pass through and has contacted the department of transportation.
She says there is no excuse for it not being fixed adding she was told it was because of the frost but she doesn't think there is any frost now.
McCollum tells us she spoke to a rep from the DOT yesterday, who told her they are looking into repairing the breach and will keep her advised.
She wants to warn anyone driving in the Petersville area to be careful, especially at night.
Our newsroom placing a call to the Department of Transportation to see where things stand.
