OFAH Insider: Growing our members

In advocacy, numbers represent political currency. The more members we have, the more weight we carry for Ontario’s anglers and hunters.

An organization's strength is often measured by its size — because numbers matter.

Numbers bring relevance, credibility, and clout. In advocacy, numbers represent political currency. The more members we have, the more weight we carry when pushing for policy that benefits Ontario's anglers and hunters.

Size also fuels resources. More members mean more revenue, more volunteers, and more capacity to expand the programs, services, and conservation work that matter to you. Our size also makes OFAH a valuable partner in the eyes of sponsors and advertisers, which leads to better perks and member benefits. It also generates non-dues revenue to be reinvested in support of our mission without increasing costs to members.

To grow stronger, we must keep our members, welcome back those we've lost, and reach new ones. That's why we're launching a growth campaign before the end of 2025, with incentives for new members and referral rewards for those who help bring them in. You, our current members, are key to this. Whether you've been with us for a year, 10 years, or 25-plus, you already know the value of an OFAH membership. Share what you know.

Spread the word to your friends, family, and networks. By growing our community, we grow our impact
— and that's strength in numbers.
