For Immediate Release: 12/10/2005 A report
regarding youth incidents and adult statistics
for 2002 has just Is that a Fact? How many times have you heard someone say those words, "Is that a fact?" I can remember by Dad saying that to me when I was late for my curfew and my well thought out and earnest explanation didn't quite make the grade in terms of being believable. We find ourselves challenged in this manner, both within and outside of the hunting fraternity as well. Often we hear "coffee shop" talk about the way it really is, how tough the hunting regulations are, how scarce the critters are or how badly someone behaved. Because someone said it, we often just accept it at face value. At Hunting For Tomorrow, we've heard these comments too and we paid attention to what people were saying, but also what wasn't being said. It is apparent that we need to provide better information and tools to both hunters and non-hunters to better equip them in discussions about general or specific matters related to hunting. We heard questions like: "My daughter is 14 and wants to hunt big game with a rifle; can she?" "Who would I contact to learn more about the various "How many black bear are there in Alberta?" "It takes me 5 years to get drawn for anything; why is that?" We can help with these questions and many more. Our first step was to develop a series of Fact Sheets. These one-page information sheets provide a series of concise, easy to read accurate information about various topics. They also include specific contact information for other sources. The Fact Sheets listed above are those that are completed to date. So, why is this information important to you? Firstly, it's a source of information that we hope you will use as a handy reference. Secondly, these Fact Sheets were developed as a direct response to some of the comments that we heard from the public opinion consultation process. For example, many people said that a barrier to people hunting, was the complexity of the hunting regulations. While, simplification of the regulations will always be a goal, in the meantime, how can we help minimize the impact of this? One of our responses was to make the information on how to get started and who to talk to for help more available, easier to access and understand. These Fact Sheets are available from various license vendors, any of the Hunting for Tomorrow coalition members or by downloading the documents in pdf format as indicated above. Take the opportunity to pick up a few copies and the next time someone asks you a question, hopefully you can give them, "Just the facts."
Another Good Example Industry Canada sources estimate that 8 Million people of all ages fish in Canada. Canadian anglers spend $6.7 Billion annually (according to Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans figures for the year 2000). Between 1984 and 1999, anglers and hunters directly contributed more than $335 Million to wildlife habitat conservation. In 2000 alone, Canadian anglers devoted 1 Million volunteer days to cleaning-up habitat and enhancing the fishing environment. Canadian hunters
donate close to one million hours per year to
habitat conservation. This information
