2021 CFO Inspection

On October 18th the East Elgin Sportsmen's Association had our annual CFO inspection, and for the 4th consecutive year the club has had no major deficiencies or issues in need of correcting and passed the inspection with flying colours.. Mid range berms on the 300m range need topping up to increase height and side berms on the 100m range require some small restructuring to offset slouching that has taken place in the past year. 
It takes the efforts of our entire membership to keep this club safe and maintained to a point that we can all be very proud when we have inspections and have very near zero deficiencies.  Many thanks to everyone who have helped keep it that way. 

Covid Restrictions Change

The province of Ontario is doing a great job of lessening, and maintaining, a much lower number of cases than seen previously in 2021. It seems that (hopefully) we won't be seeing much more in the way of set backs or a return to severe group size restrictions.

As a result effective November 1st we will be permitting members to have one guest accompany them while in the indoor range.

None of us enjoy wearing the masks and I think we can all agree we'd prefer it if we didn't have to, that unfortunately isn't currently an option for a couple of reasons.
Aside from limiting the transmission of a virus, the wearing of masks indoors keeps us from being considered high risk. To allow anyone to not wear masks indoors would make us high risk and as high risk we would be forced to verify members have had their vaccines by asking to see their vaccine passport. We'd very much prefer not to get to that point. According to the most recent set of guidelines released by the provincial government regarding the vaccine passport:
' This approach focuses on higher-risk indoor public settings where face coverings cannot always be worn'.
With that in mind masks will continue to be mandatory for ALL members while indoors 
  We do also request you continue to use the products supplied for both hand and surface sanitization. 

A Light at the End of the Tunnel?

At the time of writing this section the provincial government has just announced they expect to be 100% free of all Covid related restrictions by March 2022. No masks, no vax passports, no group size restrictions........ It's fair after the past two years that we may all be just a little skeptical, but it's something to look forward to also, so here's hoping they're correct.

CCFR

Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights

6 years ago today, the CCFR / CCDAF opened its doors for membership and donations. In these short 6 years they have brought firearm owners together as a community, raised the debate and our image as gun owners and fought the fight in all available media.
We have a battle to fight, but they promised gun owners that they would do everything they can.
And they did it.
The future of gun rights in Canada is here.

The CCFR is a non-profit organization funded by you. Help them take this opportunity to truly make a difference for firearm owners across the country. They are a volunteer organization so even a small donation goes a long way.

You can also send an e-transfer to finance@firearmrights.ca (autodeposit enabled). If prompted, use the password HELPCCFR.

All donations made by EESA members between November 1st and December 31st will be matched by the East Elgin Sportsmen's Association to a maximum of $5,000.00
The fight is still on.
