Re: Director-at-Large Positions
Dear Waterfowlers:
We are currently having an election within the OFAH to fill five (5) Director-at-Large positions.
Perhaps it would be beneficial for those of us who are interested in having a limited (tag only) Tundra Swan season in this province know where the candidates stand on this issue.
I personally have received no support from two (2) of the candidates having previously written to them in the past regarding such a season. However they may have changed their positions considering the recent advancements towards such a season.
Unfortunately I personally experienced some rather assertive and deliberate hostility from one (1) of the candidates at a Delta Waterfowl fund raising event earlier this year when this individual heard me discuss the results of the Delta Waterfowl survey with another member.
I was not aware that I was apparently not permitted to discuss a potential limited (tag only) Tundra Swan season with anyone at this event. This apparent "prohibition" was even more inappropriate considering the supportive results of the Delta Waterfowl survey.
Perhaps the other four (4) candidates could post their position regarding the future implementation of a limited (tag only) Tundra Swan season in this province.
We could all potentially benefit from their support for such a season.
Sincerely,
Jerome Katchin, D.V.M.
PS The individual involved was not expressing the views of Delta Waterfowl at this event.
