Arquivo F2916 - Eastern Ontario Fish and Game Protective Association fonds

In 1934 Jack Reid of Prescott, Ontario conceived of the idea of a central organization representing a number of clubs throughout Eastern Ontario that were concerned with the conservation of fish and game in their respective areas. The intention was that by banding together their voice would carry more weight when dealing with governmental organizations, as well as expanding their knowledge of the region as a whole.
The objects of the Association were to promote interest in all branches of angling and hunting; to assist in the conservation, restocking and replenishing of fish and game resources; to promote the proper use of firearms and generally promote good sportsmanship.
The member clubs of the association included: Rideau Lakes Protective and Aquatic Association; The Smiths Falls Fish and game Protective Association; Perth Fish and Game Protective Association; Long Sault Fish and Game Club; Leeds Fish and Game Protective Association; Aultsville Fish and Game Protective Association; Frontenac Fish and Game Protective Association; Cornwall Fish and Game Protective Association; Ottawa Fish and Game Assocation; Brockville Rod and Gun Club; The Charleston Lake Assocation; Lancaster Fish and Game Protective Association; Prescott Protective Fish and Game Club; Morrisburg Fish and Game Association; Beverly Lakes Improvement Association; Club Nationale de Peche et Chasse; Grippen Lake Association; and Merrickville Fish and Game Protective Association.
