    Default belleville canadian tire

    Just an FYI to anyone in the area. I was thier a few weeks ago and was talking to the manager of the sports section and I asked him about the improved "sports" section at his store. He informed they are going to be carrying pretty much everything to do with hunting and fishing and will be selling firearms before the fall. I was impressed with the amount of fishing stock they had (made some crappy tires look sick), and it was obvious they were attempting to have a decent selection of hunting equipment. His quote to me was "thier is no point in local people driving to bass pro to get equipment when they can come here".

    It's been at leat 15 years since i have seen a firearm in this Canadian tire, be interesting to see how this works out.

    Sounds like you've got a quality owner right there - The first thing I noticed (and fell in love with LOL) was the 12 rows of outdoor gear in the CT's around here. Fire Arms are traded and sold here too! I can't be bothered to drive all the way to BPS when most of it is here on the shelves (I know the owner of the one near my house and he's even brought in pieces for me when I have 6 or more guys that will buy it)

    That would be nice to see again - I bought my first gun from that store in back in 95.

    They have a good sports department compared to alot of the other box stores that supposedly carry hunting supplies.

    I purchased a remington 30-06 at can. tire in toronto years ago. I would think today that they would have to find a pretty big blue zip-up bag to get you up to the check out now: Jerry

    Canadian Tire in Aurora must be too close to Toronto, fishing and hunting selection is very limited and if you want something on sale, not likely going to have it.

    Some of the hunting stuff is out 12 months of the year, time to look at the regulations once again maybe I am missing the summer seasons!

    CT selling firearms? I never thought I'd see that happening. Over the last 2 years, I've gone to CT stores around Durham and am often disappointed at their lack of hunting stuff. A year ago I went to the Pickering store to find their hunting section gone. I spoke to an employee nearby and suggested that she tell her supervisor they should not do that since turkey season is about to start and she told me she was the supervisor.

    The same applies to Wally mart in the area. Maybe its due to the demographics but all those ads on the OOD magazine about hunting apparel being carried by them just doesn't apply to this area. Even their superstore only had a very small panel of accessories.

    Wow. That is a huge step for Canadian Tire to get back into firearms. The one in Brockville does not have the greatest selection of stuff for fishing and hunting. The smaller town of Prescott is better. Kingstons is the best that I know of in the area for me to get to. Although I still prefer to deal with the smaller stores as much as possible.

    The main store in Kingston (3 stores) has a big selection of hunting and fishing clothes and equipment. It is the biggest CT store in Canada. No firearms yet except air guns etc. and ammo.

    Auroura is Toronto........so is everything south of hwy #9



    There are a few Canadian Tires in Northern Ontario that still sell firearms. We even have Homehardwares that still sell firearms here.


    The further away you get from the big stink the more often you see this.
