This has been brought up a couple times. Common answers I remember were Walmart, Canadian Tire, Bass Pro and Wholesale Sports.

Or just tie a hunter orange flag on the back... viola! More versatile.

You do know that you can wear a camo one on top of your blaze orange in Ontario, right?

Copied straight from the regs; nowhere does it say you can wear camo over your orange.

"A hunter orange garment and head cover must be worn. The
hunter orange garment must cover a minimum of 400 square
inches above the waist and be visible from all sides. Open mesh
or camouflage hunter orange must not be part of the 400 square
inches (2,580 square centimetres). A hunting coat or vest generally
meets this requirement. The hunter orange head cover
may have: open mesh; a peak or brim colour other than hunter
orange, and a crest or logo which does not completely cover the
hunter orange on the side where it is affixed. The head cover
must not contain camouflage material."

Duluth pack makes some canvas daypacks in orange, but they've gotten a bit pricey in recent years.

Not according to my OHEP instructor.

The LeBaron's in Markham had them last time I was in a couple weeks ago.

Try the Ottawa location if you're near it.

If you read the FWCA you'll see that there is no mention of backpacks in the Act, (that they MUST be blaze orange) therefore, this is a non-issue because packs are removable.

Here are the Set Fines, please point out what law is being broken:

If you don't believe me, send the MNR an e-mail. It might take a week or so, but they do answer them. mnr.nric.mnr@ontario.ca

26. (1) The holder of a hunting or trapping licence shall wear a garment in hunter orange and a head cover in hunter orange while hunting wildlife

(2) The garment referred to in subsection (1) must be solid and not open mesh clothing with a minimum total area of not less than 400 square inches above the waist and visible from all sides

Look at these packs: https://duluthpack.com/

They make several nice packs. I have the rambler in B.O., it is a good pack. Mine is 20 years old, and still going strong.
