On Sunday April 25, Roxanne Pickering, of Sudbury picked up on a special sign. 
“Signs, signs everywhere there’s signs” – was the actual song lyrics playing on Roxanne’s Spotify playlist as she was scrolling through her Facebook newsfeed. That is when she stopped at the OFAH sponsored ad for Catch the Ace.
“The logo made me stop because I remembered it from childhood,” said Roxanne, who explained that her late Dad, Barry Pickering, had been an OFAH member for years. Barry was passionate about the OFAH, loved his hunting dogs, and enjoyed classic rock bands like Tesla – the band playing “Signs” in the moment when Roxanne felt a sudden warm and familiar connection with the OFAH logo showing up on Facebook.
“I thought, ‘are you being clever, Dad?’ Okay, I will buy a ticket.”
Roxanne was lost for words when she received an OFAH call that a cheque for $4,500 is on the way following her Catch the Ace win. She has never been a member, is not a hunter, and has never purchased an OFAH ticket before. Roxanne said that if there was one thing that she learned from her Dad’s OFAH passion is that “we can all make a difference in looking after the health of our ecosystem.” In honour of her Dad, who passed away 15-years ago, she is donating some of her Catch the Ace prize money to OFAH conservation work. How wonderful is that!?
Congratulations to Roxanne and long live her Dad’s appreciation for conservation.
