The Nain Inuit Community Government and the Nain RCMP detachment are working together to inform residence about silencers not permitted within town limits.
We spoke with Sergeant Ed Nugent with the Nain RCMP.
He says this bylaw was put in place from the Nain Inuit Community Government.
This bylaw states that silencers are not permitted in town limits and anyone using a silencer on their snowmobile within town limits can get a fine.
We also spoke with our AngajukKâk Joe Dicker about this concern.
He says this bylaw has been in place now for many years.
And the NICG and Nain RCMP have been receiving complaints from the community about this issue.
If you are caught using a silencer in town, you will get a convicted fine of $500.
Dicker adds that the NICG office has also been getting calls and complaints about this bylaw.
A written letter will be mailed from the NICG office as a warning.
The NICG office will be keeping paper trail of each incidence.
If you have any concerns about this bylaw, you can call the Town Office at 922-2842 if you don’t get a response back, then you can contact the Nain RCMP detachment at 922-2862.
