The president of SARM welcomes a provincial review of trespass laws, saying it is something they have been advocating for.
There is a questionnaire on the government’s website looking for input on trespass regulations, asking if all public access to rural property should require advance permission from the landowner.
Ray Orb says the laws need to be stricter because of rising rural crime.
He hopes the province gets the message that rural landowners need changes so they can protect their own property.
Orb says some accommodation may need to be made to trespass regulations for those seeking help in rural Saskatchewan. The ministry of Justice is asking for a response to its questionnaire by the first of October.
