President’s Message
This year the Orillia Fish and Game Conservation Club is proud to be celebrating 78 years of Conservation!
The Orillia Fish & Game Conservation Club, 100+ members strong, values hunting, fishing, and environmental protection. With the motto “Wildlife Unlimited,” our goal is abundant wildlife for current and future generations. Members pledge to safeguard natural resources, actively volunteering for conservation efforts, since the first meeting in March of 1947.
Our members are currently involved in many types of conservation projects including stream improvement, forest management and fish stocking, to name a few. Our members believe that educating our youth in responsible hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking will help guide them to reach the Club’s main objectives which are the conservation of our forests, waters, and wildlife, not only for our generation but for generations yet to come.
To add to this endeavor, the OFGCC is proud to offer a Club funded bursary called “The Orillia Fish & Game Conservation Club Deceased Members Bursary.” The purpose of this bursary is to assist post-secondary students who are enrolled in conservation related courses at the Community College and University levels with funds to assist them with their tuition.
The OFGCC maintains two properties, one being the 60 acre “George Langman Sanctuary”, which is open to the public free of charge. This property contains several trails and lookouts for the public’s year-round use to observe nature and plant life and offers many opportunities for photographers to record the wonders of nature. The second, is a 90 acre “Tree Farm” where the Club grows Christmas trees as well maintaining a growing Red Pine Forestry. The property also contains camp sites with a trout pond, a covered Pavilion, and a 100-yard certified sighting in range for the use of its members. Our members are proud of our conservation achievements and we always welcome new members who are interested in preserving our natural resources and wildlife.
If you enjoy hunting, fishing and are interested in preserving these traditions as well as promoting conservation of natural habitats and the great outdoors or are just interested in conservation and want to join an outdoor minded conservation community, our club may be the right fit for you.
Contact us to join the OFGCC, if you are interested in conservation. Our membership has a long proud history of conservation work. New members are welcome to join, as we are a not-for-profit Club and rely on our members volunteer efforts to maintain our properties, fundraising and conservation work.
Yours in Conservation,
