Haldimand County – Sunday Gun Hunting
Updated April 18, 2024
Do you live or hunt in Haldimand County? The County is seeking public input on the possible expansion of Sunday gun hunting in the area.
The OFAH supports the expansion of Sunday gun hunting across the province including in Haldimand. However, we recognize that it will require amendments to waterfowl seasons and are committed to working with local waterfowl hunters and the Canadian Wildlife Service to find a compromise that is acceptable to all.

Please be advised that on Tuesday, March 28, Haldimand County will be holding a Committee of the Whole meeting where the potential adoption of Sunday gun hunting will be discussed. The meeting will take place in Council Chambers on the upper level of the Central Administration Building located at 45 Munsee Street North, Cayuga. The meeting will begin at 1pm.
A representative from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) will be making a presentation at this meeting. We would appreciate, and welcome any OFAH member or fellow hunters and/or trappers who would be able to attend this meeting in support of Sunday gun hunting.

It is extremely important for all hunters and trappers to attend this meeting and to show their support for the additional opportunities that Sunday gun hunting within the municipality would provide. Your support could be the determining factor in seeing Sunday gun hunting approved.
