We’re a few days into the snap Federal Election. The BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF) has worked with the National Fishing and Hunting Collaborative (NFHC) on National Priorities for a couple years.
The NFHC is a coalition of twelve organizations representing 375,000 anglers and hunters across Canada.
The NFHC has identified 5 priority issues, and BCWF has added a 6th around DFO/Federal fisheries.
From the NFHC website: “On behalf of our members and all conservationists in Canada, the NFHC requests meaningful commitments to these five priorities from the parties seeking to form the next federal government.”
BCWF has launched this webpage https://bcwf.bc.ca/2025-federal-election/ with the backgrounds and accompanying documents. OFAH has a similar page: https://www.ofah.org/nfhc/
BCWF has also created a ‘cheat sheet’ for clubs and members: https://bcwf.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Election-cheat-sheet-printable.pdf .
We need our club members to engage their MP candidates with the cheat sheet to raise awareness. Also let them know the NFHC sent questions to all parties and we want a response.
Finally, Club members on social media will see that the BCWF/NFHC have launched a series of videos and will continue to do so. Please share and feel free to tag your MP Candidates.
