“CELEBRATE HUNTING, FISHING AND TRAPPING HERITAGE DAY IN SASKATCHEWAN”

“CELEBRATE HUNTING, FISHING AND TRAPPING HERITAGE DAY IN SASKATCHEWAN”

 

Media Release

November 13, 2014

Every year, thousands of Saskatchewan residents and visitors take advantage of the world class hunting, fishing and trapping opportunities that our province has to offer.

In recognition, November 15 has been set aside to celebrate Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Heritage Day in Saskatchewan.

“Hunters, anglers and trappers play an important role in managing and conserving our natural resources,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said. “Our government recognizes that these outdoor activities are an important part of our province’s history, and through the sustainable use of our resources they will continue to be part of our future.”

The Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Heritage Act was introduced in fall 2009 and coincides with the opening day of the resident rifle white-tailed deer season.

“The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) is thrilled to be celebrating our 6th annual Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Heritage Day,” SWF President David Pezderic said.   “These components are entrenched in Saskatchewan’s heritage and are essential activities for sustainable wildlife management in our province. Thousands of Saskatchewan families, annually, enjoy these outdoor activities that create lifelong memories. In addition, hunting and angling contribute over $500 million into Saskatchewan’s economy every year.”

All hunters are reminded to ensure safety is of foremost importance while in the field. Hunters are also reminded to get permission to access private land, even when it is not posted.

The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation is a non-profit, non-government, charitable organization of over 33,000 members in 121 communities across Saskatchewan representing every walk of life. Per capita, it is the largest wildlife conservation organization of its kind in the world. Established in 1929, the SWF has become an acknowledged leader in the conservation field.

The Ministry of Environment provides science-based solutions, compliance and mitigation measures aimed at protecting the environment, safeguarding communities and helping to ensure a better quality of life for all Saskatchewan residents.
