if your going to rice lake stop by bj tackle he will have bait... the one archer379 is thinking is elliots live bate.. some times they are not open .. bj tackle will be open

other fact is your buying it from the bargan cave there is no return policy on those items you are stuck with it, i dont know how the warrentee works as well, i know most items are returns so the item you are buying is used not new .

Roy i am fine. no tizzy here.. a tizzy was when people were fishing for trout 3 weeks ago and there was nothing the mnr could do.. that was a tizzy... and we are talking guys with 1000 dollar rods and reels that know how to circumvent the law

who is the warden to tell someone what lure to use ???? they have been fishing "suckers" in port hope with spawn for about 3 weeks. at sylvan glenn using spinners using flies ect ect... nothing the wardens can do but walk away

UPDATE i called revenue canada today.. i am going to get the last 3 years of the annual report it is a different then the one on the ofah web page. then we will see if the lottery lost money in the previous 2 years before last

aplumma You may not be aware but the OFAH is mandatory in some parts for instance hunting certain county forest require Mandatory ofah memberships. to belong to most gun clubs requires mandatory ofah memberships , when you ask for a copy of the ofah insurance policy you are told you are not allowed to see the policy .So your first statement about not being mandatory when in fact it is in some areas. The ofah came to this board and danced there way around the question when a simple answer could have be made yes it made a profit or no it did not . as far as being a member and complaining, i am a tax payer of ontario and i pay lots of taxes when the provincial and federal government give them 1.9million a year then it is every ones business where they spend there money !! I despise the ofah but this is not a lynch mob this is all about accountability to the tax payers of ontario and to the members of the OFAH

the question is what are the cost in running the lottery.. how much are they spending on labour or advertising ... who wins these contracts ..

another miss qote from the ofahThe 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 supports 99 part time people for a total of 969,686 and it also supports 6 full time people $40,000 - $79,999 2 full time people at$80,000 - $119,999 1 full time person at $120,000 - $159,999 and 1 full time person at ....$160,000 - $199,999 so the 10 full time employees share 1.374 million

hey irishfield.. the statment i had , had a nice little - in front of 16000 bucks. thefore it is a loss... the only numbers it gives is ticket sales and cost

very nice to see the ofah comment i guess as usuall i will have to throw my 2 cents in ...he 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 the above in red is the question we asked, with a statement like that i could raise 1 millon dollars and it cost 999 999 and give the 1 dollar to the fish and wild life program and still be well within the law.. what is so hard to give us the numbers. I like a fool miss placed my papers i will request a new copy of the finacial statement from revenue canada on monday. And i am also sorry for making chris robbison drop his membership to this board as i now see he comes up as a GUEST

thank you for opening it back up.. i am waiting for the reply

Well chris. yes you get what you pay for .. your anual report says nothing about profit from lottery just the number of tickets sold. on the paper work i have it breaks down the lottery and other fundrasiers and the lottery was at a loss last year .. i would suggest you go to head office and ask for yourself and come back here and say in a public fourm that i am WRONG ... again for a proper assessment call revenue canada and get the paper work and see who is wrong.. and i say again the lottery was run at a loss AND one more thing every other fundraiser you have you list the profit, but never mentioned the profit/LOSS of the lottery that should send alarms off on ever person that reads it.

nope not ball park figures... i asked revenue canada for there returns from last year... the lottery was run at a LOSS may be off a few thousand .. but over a 16 thousand dollar loss.

lol the cost of them to run the lottery is higher than the amount they make... they give away 299 000 in prizes sell 760 000 in tickets but it cost them 777000 to run it for a loss of over 16 000 dollars.???????

thanks for the ride ron... meeting not what i expected ..but it was very entertaining to say the least

Wow

MNR AND DFO AND the ganaraska conservation authority has been contacted and are now investagating the incident

this is a copy and paste from another site... i dont know if the mnr has showed up or not or if other people have heard about it On Thursday night a company doing work on the dam at the top of shelter valley drained the pond and opened the dam up. Found about 100 dead rainbows and most fish got washed out. For instance Thursday afternoon there was easily 500 fish in one hole alone ( I have shown a few membersthis spot and I am being very conservitive in that number ) and yesterday afternoon only about 15 fish in it. Mnr was called right away and the co did return a call but said he couldn't get down right now. As of today no one has come and they company was working away there today. I got threatened with a fine for cutting an overhanging limb that the kids loose floats in and if a company ruins the spawn it's not a big deal.
