As part of the Walleye Management Strategy for Zone 17 an information workshop is being offered to give attendees a broad overview of the key elements of walleye management in FMZ17, including walleye biology, habitat and management, and also to provide insight into how participants can best become engaged in walleye management activities. The FMZ17 Council, with MNR and OFAH, is holding this evening walleye information workshop on Oct 24th in Peterborough. It's open to the public and free to attend, but registration is required because of limited seating at the facility. Some seats are still available. Full details and contact information are at http://www.ofah.org/fishing/fmz-17-walleye-workshop

The OFAH would like to provide the following clarifications: The OFAH compensated 99 persons over the course of 2010; the $2.3 million payroll covered all salaries, benefits and mandatory employment expenses (e.g. CPP, EI, WSIB, EHT, etc.) related to those employment opportunities. The OFAH Conservation Centre and the OFAH|Mario Cortellucci Hunting & Fishing Heritage Centre were built on land donated by an OFAH member near the banks of the Otonabee River. Each building was entirely financed using funds donated expressly for that purpose. No membership fees were used in the construction of these facilities. The OFAH Conservation Lottery is the largest fundraiser for the Federation, with all proceeds (net of the fundraising costs) directed to approved fish and wildlife programs in current and future years. We are required, under the terms of our provincial lottery licence, to ensure that, over time, no net proceeds are left unspent. Members are welcome to opt out of selling lottery tickets by contacting our office, and all members are entitled to request complete audited financial statements by calling us at 705-748-6324. The 2011 OFAH Annual Report is a public document that is available at www.ofah.org/report. Additional questions may be directed to [email protected]
