Attention OFAH Members!
Two surveys are now on line regarding the proposed mandatory wearing of life jackets, one is from Transport Canada and the second is from the OFAH. Transport Canada did not consult with anglers and Hunters for this proposal so head office created its own similar survey so head office can draft the feed back they get from us (anglers and hunters), the links are on both the web site and our Facebook page.
Background on why the proposal

Clean Drain and Dry, over the last year Zone F has been working with Invasive species, clubs and volunteers to have these signs erected at many boat launches in our area.
We’re reaching out to anyone that may know of any launches that do not have a sign. One area of particular interest would be the Ottawa River corridor from Fitzroy Harbour to the Quebec boarder.
Let us know if you have any information. ofahzonef@gmail.com
