A polar bear had to be put down in Makkovik last week.
Todd Broomfield is the Director for Renewable Resources for the Nunatsiavut Government.
He says that they had requested for a Polar Bear nuisance license from the provincial government after several cabins were damaged within the area.
Broomfield adds that the pelt will be given to a harvester once names are being selected for the polar bear hunt that will begin on February 2nd, 2021.
