The Town of Oliver, every year, solicits hunters to reduce the stock of Canada Geese in various spots in the municipality.
They are not paid. ODN made a mistake on the word hire. It is done during hunting season and is legal

“Tuc-El-Nuit lake is busy with paddle boarders, kayakers, fishermen and the like this fine Sunday morning. I am sure a lot of people I see gathered around the shoreline and on the water are wondering why the town allows hunters to shoot geese or anything else for that matter on and around this small densely populated lake. Watching shotgun pellets splash in the water outside my living room window this morning is too close for comfort.”
