Entire Property Closed October 16
Installation of the electrical lines to the front gate for the new security system is scheduled to take place on October 16.
Trenching of these lines necessitates closing the road past the gate to vehicle or foot traffic, so we will be closing the entire property for the entirety of the day on Wednesday, October 16.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this causes.

Firearms Advocacy
With the October 21 federal election approaching, the recently announced Liberal Party of Canada’s firearms platform is of great concern to the firearms and conservation community. This election will be of great importance to us all.
Until October 21, we will be engaging in efforts through our communications channels to inform SPFGA members about the current debate surrounding gun-control policies. While we intend for this to be non-partisan in nature, it is imperative that we take a leadership role in assisting members to make up their own minds on how anti-firearms policies should inform their voting decisions.
