A Weirdale-area man has beenconvictedof seven charges involving illegal trapping in a part of the Fort à la Corne forest that is set aside for use by the James Smith Cree Nation.

Lloyd Slonski could face over $11,000 in fines, the forfeiture of his snowmobile and all of his trapping gear if Crown Prosecutor Matthew Miazga is successful in his submission.

“Fines in the past have not been sufficient. They’ve been imposed on four occasions in the past,” Miazga said in provincial court this afternoon.

He said Slonski’s past convictions show a disregard for the law. He also submitted that the use of free hanging neck snares by Slonski is an aggravating factor.
