OFAH Bones Ontario Hunter Education Instructors

I think the point here is that people feel that if the powers that be wanted to end in class courses then they should just do so; and not present in person courses as a student choice while telling instructors that courses can’t be delivered unless they as individuals have taken out individual insurance policies that are wildly unaffordable.
 
Let me re-phrase…. Why would/should Ontario’s largest non profit conservation organization expend more time and funds to help a private business profit?


1) What time and funds are you talking about?

2) Supposedly, their mandate is to support hunting and fishing.
 
Ofah just seems to keep missing the target. Had hoped they reformed after throwing handgun owners under the bus. Surely they have enough clout with their insurer to keep coverage alive.

Nfa and ccfr are better insurance programs for hunters and club members. Maybe Ontarians should move to pro-firearm organization insurance programs.

1: Insurance isn’t free and the time to set it up isn’t either. the op though his should be paid for him so he can make a profit off other shooters.
2: supporting hunters and fishing doesn’t mean paying to support insurance on for profit business. I’m a hunter, will they pay my liability insurance for my business?

Wildly unaffordable? Have you even ever held commercial liability insurance or simply going off what the op says? I do one of the most dangerous jobs out there and hold 5 million liability. Under 2k per year!

In asking about this, I was informed by someone knowledgeable on such things that it would be in the neighbourhood of $5000. Also, from what I gather, the matter is not one of expecting OFAH to pick up the insurance tab, but one of having insurance available to instructors at a reasonable cost such as has been done with PAL instructors in the province.

Been offline for a few days as bad to make a high speed emergency trip to deal with a father in law who wasn't going to make it through the night (but thankfully has to date). Didn't want you to think I had slunk off to hiding. Very simplly, OFAH delivers the OHEP for the province and until last year, through accredited instructors who taught the course, received remuneration for doing so, and had to get insurance which was provided by their membership in the OFAH. If this offends your sense of humour, please feel free to #### off and troll someone else's posts. You certainly are offending mine.

Actually, the OP thought that it should be available through the org, as is the other insurance that they and other orgs make available.
 
I will be doing everything I can to convince the BoD at the one club I am at to switch to CSSA for coverage.

I would suggest everyone else write to the OFAH (as I have) at OFAH@OFAH.org and express your concern.
Looks to me more like the OFAH wants to be the Ont Federation of Fishermen......don't want any Hunters....

Our club switched to the ccfr for our insurance last year and we have literally saved over $20K per year.

Thats interesting..........what insurance are you referring to? Property/liability insurance?

I am referring to each members annual membership fee in the org, which is about $50 a year per person for CSSA, and close to that I think for OFAH
 
Attention OFAH Hunter Ed. Instructors

The CSSA can insure your Instructor's activities.

Ask us how.

We switched our club liability as well as our property insurance - the club liability insurance covers every one of our members and includes directors and officers insurance at no extra cost which is a significant savings. In the process we also moved our property insurance to Capri as well. We have all the same coverage we had before, saved over $20K per year, AND are supporting a gun org that is doing great work to preserve shooting sports. Win-win all around.

You sound like the whinny kid that’s parents just told him he has to pay his own insurance cause he has a job. The real world sucks and reliance on another business to support yours isn’t wise. The world changes every day. Adapt or come here to complain. I see your choice….
