Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus

Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus The Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus is open to all Members of Parliament and Senators who are intereste Larry Bagnell, MP (LIB).

Co-Chaired by Bob Zimmer, MP (CON) and Ken McDonald, MP (LIB), the Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus is a non-partisan group of Members of Parliament and Senators which represent the Canadian heritage activities of hunting, fishing, sport shooting and trapping. Our Co-Vice Chairs are Brendan Hanley, MP (LIB) and Chris Lewis, MP (CON). As an all-party caucus, the goal is to preserve and promote these pu

rsuits, protect them in law, and ensure that traditional outdoor heritage activities remain available to all Canadians. Millions of rural and urban Canadians of all political affiliations, backgrounds, ages and abilities contribute over $10 billion annually to the national economy, and support over 100,000 jobs through fishing and hunting activities. The Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus was founded in 2006 by Garry Breitkreuz, MP (CON), now retired, and Hon.

Did you know Canada 🇨🇦 and the U.S. 🇺🇸 have worked together on conservation and preservation of public access for hunters and fishers for over 100 years?

Jeff Crane from the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation and I also speak on how true conservation works across party lines. “Conservation is not defined by party labels.”

Do you agree conservation should unite us?

Happy National Hunting, Trapping and Fishing Day!

Ten years ago, as Member of Parliament, was proud to vote for my friend and former colleague MP Rick Norlock’s private member’s bill that established a National Hunting, Trapping and Fishing Heritage Day to be celebrated annually on the third Saturday of September.

As Canadians, we understand the importance of conservation, and those who hunt and fish for recreation or for food understand the need to manage this activity properly so it will be something that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

I hope you all had the chance to enjoy Hunting, Trapping and Fishing Day 2023!
