Notice
FMZ 14
FMZ 10 lies north of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Its eastern border extends northwards from the mouth of the
French River to Elk Lake and the western border follows the east shore of Lake Superior from Sault Ste. Marie north
to Wawa. FMZ 10 includes the ‘Specially Designated Waters’ of the French River and Manitoulin Island. This zone
has the highest road and population density of all the Northeastern zones. The landscape is characterized by the
Ontario shield’s shallow soils, ancient bedrock and boreal forests. This zone also has the most lake trout and brook
trout lakes of all the Northeast zones. Ontario has developed an ecological framework for recreational fisheries
management (EFFM). The FMZ 10 Advisory Council and Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) FMZ 10 Project
Team decided to make its first focus for FMZ 10 on lake trout given the recent information from the Northeast Lake
Trout Project (2000-2005). A number of changes are being proposed to the zone wide lake trout regulations

The Crown Land Roads Manual deals with the management of roads and bridges on Crown land which are not being
managed within the context of a forest management plan. The Manual does not deal with land use planning or
resource access road planning, because these matters are dealt with through the ministrys land use and resource
management planning processes. No changes to the ministrys land use and resource management planning processes
are being proposed through the preparation of this Manual. Deadline for comment is April 28th
