Charley Smith from Massey says “Join OntORA!”

I picked up the new 2012 Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary. I couldn’t find any further reduction on creel limits or more restricted lakes. Maybe we have hit rock bottom? Could things be looking up next year? I hope so because they basically have us fishing for hammer handles now! People with “Sportsman Licenses” are allowed [...]

One of our members came across another MNR Road Closure sign while hunting this fall and snapped a photo. There are a lot of good lakes, not accessable, by this road system anymore. MNR Road Closure Sign – Behind Capreol, Ontario is a post from: Ontario fishing, hunting, camping on crown land

Letter to Dalton McGuinty – How DARE You Post This Sign!

Tym Barker — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 22:32:10 +0000

Hon Dalton McGuinty, Dear Mr. McGuinty, Attached is a picture of a sign that is posted in Hall Township. Hall Township is just south of the old town of Ramsey in Northern Ontario. This is just one of many MNR signs dotting our local landscape. I find it appalling that the MNR could even consider [...]

Tourist Outfitter Letter – Ontario Politicians

Tym Barker — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:15:05 +0000

The following letter, written by a Tourist Outfitter in Ontario, was recently sent to many people, including the leaders of every political party in Ontario. Is the NDP Party unknowingly campaigning to destroy the 15,000 jobs in Northern Ontario directly tied to Northern Ontario’s remote tourism industry? Subject: ONTORAs proposal for NEW NON-TRADITIONAL ATV ACCESS [...]

2011 Ontario Election – Vote for Crown Land Access

Tym Barker — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:51:54 +0000

The 2011 Ontario Election is fast approaching. It will be interesting to see what happens – if anything – regarding crown land access and the MNR’s continual abuse of power and lack of concern about equal public access to our Crown lands and lakes. Gilles Bisson from the NDP has been a great supporter of [...]

Kings and Queens – Ontario Crown Land for the Rich

Tym Barker — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:36:08 +0000

The following letter was published in the Sudbury Star recently. Re: “Tories promise to open trails for northerners”. It is refreshing to read that in Nickel Belt Riding, both the NDP’s France Gelinas and the Tories’ Paula Peroni recognize the stark injustice done to northerners who have lost public access to thousands of lakes and [...]
