The Orillia Fish and Game Conservation Club has promoted conservation of wildlife and the preservation of the habitat necessary for wildlife survival since 1947. The promotion of the heritage activities of hunting and fishing has been part of their message for 78 years.
Activities promoting conservation education, youth bursaries, environmental protection, and wildlife propagation have been important to the Club over the years. The George Langman Wildlife Sanctuary on the Bass Lake Sideroad west of Orillia is open to the public at no cost. The marsh itself, bird displays and over 5 kilometers of signed trails make the Sanctuary a great place for year round family visits.
Membership is open to Men and Women over 19years of age. All are welcome. Come join us to support Conservation.
Ted Duncan ;
Past President 1985, 2010-2013
