The Georgian Bay Hunters and Anglers Club landed two big trophies during the annual general meeting of its parent organization March 19.
At the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) gathering in Mississauga, the local club received the Windsor Sportsmen’s Club Trophy for outstanding fundraising success in 2008.
Club members sold 691 books of tickets in support of the 34th annual OFAH Conservation Lottery.
“Fundraising is essential to OFAH conservation programming,” said president Jack Hedman. “The incredible success of the OFAH Conservation Lottery comes down to the members and clubs like the Georgian Bay Hunters and Anglers, who demonstrate their dedication to Ontario’s fish and wildlife through fundraising, and by taking on community conservation projects.”
The club’s Georgian Bay Get Outdoors Club, meanwhile, took home the Ministry of Natural Resources Junior Conservation Award.
“The Georgian Bay Get Outdoors Club is well-deserving of this award,” said Robert Pye, the OFAH’s manager of member services. “They … show an admirable dedication to the conservation of our fish and wildlife.”
The award is presented annually to a youth club contributing the most to conservation in the previous year. This is the second time the Georgian Bay Get Outdoors Club has taken home the award. It was previously recognized in 2005.
