Education:

Background:

Hastings Bassmaters Club President
Sitting on the FMU 17 council representing fishermen and anglers.
Teach and volunteer with various youth groups ie, scouting, about fishing, aquatic ecology and habitat restoration.
Goals:
The main goal for me is to develop better fish management and care procedures for the OBN. Including an evidence-based approach to better support our clubs and members for fish care. Not to say we don’t have good care but to have a better standard for it and support for education to maintain it. Especially at our biggest and most publicly viewed event, the Hank Gibson Provincial Qualifier. Hopefully, developing an Organization-wide standard operating procedure document for all levels.
