The President of the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club’s Reports on the status of the club.
Things at the club are running great, but wouldn’t you know it, the Liberals called an election. To say that this election is one of the most important in Canadian history would be an understatement. We have a party that is now calling for the seizure of unused or underused land and homes, something [...]

There will be one item on the agenda for budget approval. Item 1 Approval to change [...]
Summer heat is still continuing, please, please make sure to use the cigarette containers for your cigarette disposal. We are finding far too many on the ground, which is a severe fire hazard for the club and the surroundings. Should you spot a fire on the property we have fire extinguishers on every range [...]
That was a hot week last week!!!! Let’s hope that we don’t see anything like that again this summer. As many have already noticed we are back to normal operating procedures now, with all the tape removed and masks not being needed on the outdoor and only recommended on the indoor. We do ask [...]
Welcome to the heat! 39 degrees at the range the other day, that’s warm! Ranges are getting busier, please remember we are still operating off of the time windows of 8-10, 10-12, 12-2 etc on weekdays and starting at 10am on weekends. Until the PHO allows for us to restore all the shooting benches we [...]
We had our AGM! Massive thanks to Geoff Fraser for doing all the hard work on setting up Zoom to handle it. It ran without a hitch, which amazed me and many who attended. We hammered through the agenda with ease and passed our bylaw update, our budget and of course voted in new [...]

AFGC's first Virtual AGM was a resounding success and we received a lot of positive feedback about how smoothly the process went, from the visual presentation to the online Q&A and live online voting. Thank you to the volunteer organizers who put this together! We [...]
So the first of April has come and the internet is inundated with April Fools’ jokes. There are some great ones out there, the highlight for me being the one from Hornady, they previously did one on a bullet cam which took the internet by storm. Sadly, AFGC can’t announce any jokes this year, [...]
And, that’s why we can’t have nice things... Recently the club decided to purchase some nice rifle rests for use on ranges 2 and 3. These were not cheap items, and we’d hoped that we could trust our membership in having these out on the ranges. Sadly, that isn’t the case as two of the rests [...]
It seems that 2021 is the year of attacking gun owners in Canada. We now see not only the Federal government upping its attacks on gun owners, but the Province of BC now doing so as well. Not only are they drastically expanding police search and seizure powers, but they are also going after [...]
Rain, sun, cold, snow, wind, typical BC weather for this time of the year. It is great to see the ranges still being used during our “nicest” time of the year, and many have commented on how much they like the heaters, making their day much nicer at the range.You should have all received the [...]
A slow time of the year, mostly thanks to COVID-19, we are seeing more restrictions coming down the pipe, but currently we are still able to stay open. We ask that everyone please abide by the Public Health Order, even if you disagree with it, you are expected to follow it when attending the [...]
