Description

La Sépaq manages the national parks of Îles-de-Boucherville and Mont-Saint-Bruno, which are facing an overpopulation problem of white-tailed deer. This overpopulation threatens the biodiversity of the parks' forests and increases the spread of Lyme disease, damages agricultural crops, and causes more road accidents. Sépaq seeks services for controlling the deer population and processing the animals after control, based on scientific recommendations from the Ministry of Environment and related agencies. The contract duration is one year, with possible renewals for two additional one-year periods.
