Welcome to the Youth Hunting Day Planning Tool Kit website. It has been created through a cooperative effort between the Elgin Stewardship Council, Perth Stewardship Network as a planning aid to assist other organizations in running a successful event.
Most hunting organizations in Ontario would agree that recruitment and retention of new hunters is probably the most significant challenge facing them in ensuring our hunting heritage is protected and that the passion for this sport carries on to future generations.
In response to this challenge and the long history that hunters have with conservation of our natural resources, the stewardship councils developed the Youth Hunting Day event. Simply stated, it provides Apprentices in the province’s Hunter Apprenticeship Safety Program with a high quality hunting experience in a safe environment.
Funding to support this web site and the companion products was provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources’- Ontario Stewardship Opportunity Fund. The information, ideas and tips are based on the 10 successful events held since 2005 and should be viewed as a useful planning tool in developing an event for your area.
