The Alberta Fish and Game Association is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit charitable organization that advocates the common interests of ethical hunters, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts dedicated to the responsible stewardship of Alberta’s environment. The AFGA is recognized by all levels of government as the official spokesmen for organized hunters and anglers interested in the conservation of fish and wildlife. In one form or another, the AFGA has been active since 1908, however, it wasn’t until November of 1946, that the AFGA was registered under the Alberta Societies Act. The association has a total membership exceeding 16,000 representing approximately 100 affiliated fish and game clubs in over 100 Alberta cities, towns and villages throughout the province. Members range in age from 12 years to over 65 years in age and cover a broad cross-section of a urban/rural demographic make-up. Policy and direction is established by a 15 member volunteer executive and governed by a five-member senior executive. The association is administered through a head office in Edmonton by a staff of approximately ten full-time administrative and habitat staff. |
