The Canadian National Sportsmen’s Shows prides itself on its involvement with organizations that promote education, conservation and preservation of wildlife and natural resources. The Alberta Birds of Prey Foundation is a very unique facility that rehabilitates rare birds of prey and releases them back into the wild. Through its presentations they hope to provide audiences with a deeper understanding and appreciation for work that they do and give show goers the opportunity to get up close and personal with some the Centre’s inhabitants.
Alberta Hunter Education Instructors Association (AHEIA) is dedicated to creating an ethical, humane and educated Alberta that values wildlife, fish and the environment. In an effort to support their mandate they will have fishing and hunting simulators as well as many hands on displays and activities for show goers of all ages to participate in.
Introducing youngsters to the outdoor lifestyle will help ensure that they are outdoor enthusiasts for life. The Trigger X Kids Fishing Pond allows children under the age of 12 to try their hand at catch and release. All proceeds benefit the Calgary and Sarcee Fish and Game Associations.
