  • Second Edition
    JANUARY 2015 CONSERVATION TM SPECIAL EDITION MattersSECOND EDITION TM about the GOABC he Guide Outfitters Association of British Columbia (GOABC) was established in 1966 to represent Tthe guide outfitting industry to government, and advocate for science-based wildlife management. The GOABC represents 60-70% of guide outfitters in the province, employs over 2,000 individuals, and is responsible for approximately $116 million of annual economic activity in British Columbia. The vision of the GOABC is a province with a strong and stable guide outfitting industry, innovative wildlife conservation projects led by hunters, and abundant big game populations for all to enjoy, both today and in the future. In an ever-changing conservation landscape, it is critical that organizations like the GOABC take the initiative to host events such as this wildlife symposium. In doing so, we can learn from other jurisdictions, and better understand the differing viewpoints people may have on wildlife management. From the many passionate and compelling speakers who presented at the 2014 GOABC International Wildlife Management Symposium, we were given much to reflect on and help us as we move forward toward our collective goal of healthy, stable wildlife populations. This publication is GOABC’s attempt to capture the spirit and intent of the event’s discussion. It is our opinion that hunters must shift their attitudes from caring about hunting, to caring about all wildlife. In order for us to be successful at maintaining wildlife for future generations, hunters need TM to support long-term management decisions that are good for wildlife and their habitat. The GOABC has always been a strong proponent of the North American Wildlife Conservation Model, which has proven to be an effective framework for managing wildlife that was founded by hunter-conservationists.

  • 2019 Canada Soccer Annual Report
    A MESSAGE FROM STEVEN REED, PRESIDENT During my tenure as President, I have had the privilege to continue the momentum established this past decade to ensure that the foundation for Canada Soccer Nation would be further strengthened. Although this Annual Report reflects on the year of 2019, it is that solid footing that has guided us through an unprecedented time in not only our sport but our world. When I reflect on what I will remember most fondly about my three years as President of Canada Soccer, it all comes down to one thing: the people. It is the people within the Canadian soccer community who have banded together to ensure that our players, coaches, officials, volunteers, fans and their families are safe and will return to the pitch and the sidelines when they are secure. It’s about the team this organization has assembled over the last 10 years who, collectively, have brought us to where we are today – the proud co-hosts, with Mexico and the United States, of the 2026 FIFA World Cup™. We are a country to which other FIFA nations now see as a leader in the soccer world. It’s about Peter Montopoli, who as General Secretary brought necessary professionalism to the organization that laid the foundation for all the successes that followed. It’s about my predecessor and now Concacaf President, Victor Montagliani, who believed in—and advanced—our dream of hosting a men’s FIFA World Cup™ on Canadian soil for the first time. It’s about John Herdman, who revamped the women’s program, taking our Women’s National Team to back-to-back bronze medals at the Olympic Games and a place among the top countries in the world.
