How would one go about starting a petition to bring attention to the situation?
go to a zone meeting and ask ... if they give you the tipical response " dont worry we have it under control " tell them you want it in the minutes of meetings and a letter of response
By contacting your local OFAH zone director and secretary and ask for a motion to be included in the agenda for the next zone meeting.Quote:

this needs to happen in the majority of the zones, and pretty much needs a zone director with the balls to push it, as they will need to contact directors from other zones to keep the pressure on Greg Farrant to change his stance on the public access issue.
Be prepared for a long drawn out process, since most zones only have 3 meetings per year, and will require a personal investment of gas and time to get to the meetings.
my personal observations have been that the OFAH head office prefers to give the zones direction and are generally not very welcoming to the concept of the zones giving head office it's direction.
Be prepared to find out that while there may seem to be a lot of people not happy with the OFAH stance on this policy, it will be one hell of a struggle to get people to commit to going to the meetings and supporting the change. It's far too easy to just complain on forums and hope for change, and unfortunately that's what will happen.
I have had dealings with the OFAH in the past, It has left a bitter taste in my mouth, this seems to be no different.
We hear you Blackwolf. Would you care to elaborate?Quote:

Hey I just noticed this WAS moved over to the Hunting Forum. Thanks Caltek. Appreciated.
Now let's see if anybody adds some new insight, has new questions or new suggestions to get some action to open these lands for everybody's use with equal opportunity.
I am not incredibly well versed in this whole issue, but it is clearly wrong that outfitters have exclusive rights to land which they have not payed for. I will be sending some letters to MPs and OFAH over this. I suggest everyone do the same.
I (like many here)am from southern ontario. Even though this may not effect me as much as those residing in northern Ontario, we need to show a united front as sportsmen of ontario if we ever want to be taken seriously.
Back to the top of the posts.
Fellow hunters get involved please!
Caltek gave me this info;
Can email OFAH directly - [email protected] and your email will be directed to the appropriate staff member(s).
Let these guys know how you feel about this topic!
I sent some e-mails out when this thread started,not only to the OFAH,but also to OMNR (besides the EBR) and my local MPP. So far,I haven't heard back from any of them.Quote:
