About the B.C. Wildlife Federation                                                                                                        

For nearly 75 years, the B.C. Wildlife Federation (BCWF) has been at the forefront of wildlife conservation, habitat restoration, and outdoor education in British Columbia. Our mission is to protect, enhance, and promote the wise use of the environment to benefit present and future generations.

Our origins date back to the 1890s when volunteer conservationists established fish and game protective associations that formed the basis of some of our current member clubs. The BCWF membership is made up of 43,000 outdoor enthusiasts from ten regions of the province, who hunt, fish, camp, hike, and spend time outside with their families. There are one hundred BCWF-affiliated fish and game protective associations and rod and gun clubs, making up about 80 percent of the total membership.

Event Information                                                                                                                                    

Fishing Forever is a program offered by the BCWF since 1989. This program benefits communities throughout British Columbia, with assistance from affiliated clubs, local community organizations, businesses, and other partners, by offering individuals with physical and mental disabilities, including local senior citizens, the opportunity to go fishing and socialize within a supportive outdoor setting. Volunteers will assist participants with hands-on fishing experiences, preparing meals, and setting up and dismantling the event, among other tasks! This event is hosted in collaboration with the Polar Coachman Flyfishers Associated.
