    Annual recognition of the important contributions of hunting, trapping and angling to Canadian economy, identity and culture.

    Reminds Canadians that abundant fish and wildlife doesn’t exist accidentally.

    Prompts Canadians to join a conservation organization that works to conserve fish and wildlife, and protect these heritage activities.

    All great fishing, hunting and trapping experiences are built upon the foundation of heritage connections, outdoor respect and responsibility. Staying true to our outdoor roots has always been the OFAH motivation to support a NATIONAL HUNTING, TRAPPING AND FISHING HERITAGE DAY.
