Membership
Each year RBWA volunteers dedicate untold hours toward accomplishing the objectives of the Association. These tasks range from Earth Day clean up, blind construction, maintenance, and installation, volunteering Rondeau Park events, engaging in the local community, hold an annual fundraising dinner, organize an annual youth hunt, and many other opportunities as they arise.
The RBWA partners with local and regional groups as well as provincial bodies to complete large scale projects with a focus on improving Rondeau Bay and surrounding area while addressing the objectives of the Associations mission.
We work to protect public hunting interests and access for hunters, both present and future.
Through our partnership with OFAH we require all members of RBWA to be members of OFAH in good standing. We are able to offer both memberships concurrently.
Members in good standing also enjoy a reduced rate on A-Zone Daily Hunting Permits.
If you are interested in becoming a member please download our Membership Form and contact our Membership Chair listed on the Contact Us page.
