Valley Fishing and Outdoor Show

EMC Events - For Ottawa and Eastern Ontario residents there is no better sign that spring has sprung than the arrival of the 'Valley Fishing and Outdoor Show.' The 12th annual extravaganza will be staged in Carp April 8-10.

This year the slogan is "Family Fun, Fishing and Hunting" and chief organizer Dave Arbour said last week all three buildings have completely sold out.

"We have more than 100 exhibitors. With some new outfitters from Ontario and Quebec involved it is going to be a very big show," Arbour states.

Enjoying the Ontario Outdoors in spring!

There are many trails that are paved or have top coating layers that will make them less mucky or wet in the springtime if that is something you wish to avoid.

There are many trails in the Central Ontario area that can be found and enjoyed all year round.  Visit these great resources to find trails in regions that are of interest to you.  Simcoe County Trails provides great information for trails in the Simcoe County area and Ontario Trails provides information on trails in other areas throughout Ontario. 

Visiting a nearby Provincial Park or Conservation Area also gives you an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors close to home.

OFAH Clubs make a difference

MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 21, 2011) - It takes countless hours and significant financial resources to support fish and wildlife conservation initiatives in Ontario. Fortunately, there are Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) member clubs across the province willing to take on that challenge.
Every year at its annual conference, the OFAH recognizes the efforts of its member clubs that top the list of fundraisers through OFAH Conservation Lottery ticket sales. This year, the Georgian Bay Anglers and Hunters and Sudbury Game and Fish Protective Association were honored during the President's Reception.
