Safety In Large Numbers?

Not so much if living on the land and bay that time forgot.

Map illustrates the No-Shooting/Controlled Shooting zones currently in place around Eld Inlet. The stats indicate the year and zone population when the existing ordinances were adopted.  The map also illustrates that the bay and Steamboat Island Peninsula(white and blue zones) are lacking the safety ordinances enjoyed by our Cooper Point neighbors.

The documented (estimated) population of our Steamboat Island Peninsula more than supports the urgent need for a no shooting/controlled shooting ordinance. If  you believe it is time for the ordinances to catch up to the population growth please contact your County Commissioners and let them know you are in favor of a no shooting or controlled shooting zone.
