Experience Fishing:
We’ve continued the programs social media presence over the summer months and recently wrapped up the Spring/Summer campaign with Epoch Times. We are now looking to re-ramp up our efforts as we look to grow the ice fishing side of the program. Stay tunned for more details!
Proposed Program – Experience Hunting:
We continue to look for funding partners to build and pilot the Experience Hunting Program. This program would mirror the Experience Fishing program and focus on educational pieces to offer both operators and beginner hunters with all the tools, resources, and support they need to help build the next generation of hunters.
Opportunity for Outfitters to Represent the Industry:
We were recently contacted about opportunities for outfitters to sit on various Federal and Provincial government committees to ensure that the hunting and fishing community is well represented. If you may be interested, please contact Laurie at your earliest convenience by calling or texting 705-499-7556.
Membership Renewals:
We have sent out membership renewal reminders and encourage operators to make their membership payments by the end of August to keep your accounts current. Your membership support is what funds the work that NOTO does on your behalf. Reach out to us if you would like to make a payment or see the instructions at the end of this newsletter.
