The Clubs activities are hunting, fishing and various conservation activities.

The LPAF&GC annual Yard Sale in Port Rowan was a success
The Board was very happy to announce that we had decided that after a two year absence due to Covid, that the conditions were now more favourable to once again hold the LPAF&GC annual Yard Sale at the Port Rowan Community Centre on Saturday February the 11th.
There was an amazing turnout with 25 venders there, and the number of people through the door looks like it was the best ever. Thankyou to all who attended for making it a success
See the yard sale page for more details.
Remember the Pheasant season ended on December 31st, as did the squirrel season. The rabbit season closed at the end of February.
A Township licence is required for hunting Pheasants and Rabbits in Norfolk County, all licence monies collected are used for purchasing Pheasants for the 2023 release. A big thank you to all who did buy a licence in 2022.
FYI
The Hamilton Bassmaster’s Spring Fishing Sale and Swap will be held on Saturday the 25th March 2023 at the Ancaster Fairgrounds.
