Ontario Chinese Anglers Association Promotes Fishing Conservation

Since 2002, led by the incumbent Chairman Raymond Zee and council members, OCAA members have specialized in adhering to the 'Let's participate! Share the Future!" belief emphasizing the importance of the Chinese community in promoting 'Catch & Release' to educate people to be responsible anglers. OCAA Friends for the Protection of the Environment encourage their angling friends in setting a good example. OCAA also works closely with the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Canadian Power and Sail Squadron and have assisted in the translation of the fishing regulations guide and Boating Basic manual into Chinese. The OCAA offers Safe Boating classes and Pleasure Craft Operator Card test in Chinese for members and the public. OCCA’s initiative is to assist members to understand and follow the fishing regulations and emphasize the importance of safe boating practice.
