PRESIDENT`S<br />
MESSAGE<br />
Hello Members,<br />
SCI convention is once again over for this year. As I attended<br />
various meetings, there was a lot of talk at convention this<br />
year about the constant attacks on your right to hunt in North<br />
America. These attacks in Canada and especially British<br />
Columbia and Alberta are at an all time high.<br />
B.C. is about to have a provincial election and the GO ABC<br />
is raising the alarm about a very possible NDP government<br />
getting back in. The NDP have promised to close the grizzly<br />
bear hunt in British Columbia, thus ever stopping the chance<br />
of Alberta’s grizzly hunt from ever reopening. Something that<br />
would have happened had we not elected an NDP government<br />
in Alberta. At the Board Meeting, SCI Chapters offered up<br />
$60,000 to help Go ABC to try and stop the grizzly closure in<br />
British Columbia.<br />
Back here in Alberta there is a Calgary based man who has<br />
started an organization to end trophy hunting in Africa, and<br />
as well right here in your back yard Alberta. He is well funded<br />
and is a serious threat to our rights as hunters (read more<br />
about this in the newsletter).<br />
I believe the time is in front of us to support hunting like<br />
never before. Please consider donating to the United Hunters<br />
Fund, supporting SCI and our local chapter. Your way of life is<br />
depending on it. Fight the antis who are so eager to attack it.<br />
Good Hunting<br />
