Ontario residents are heading to the polls in just under a month (June 12), and some will also be eligible to vote in two of the four federal by-elections set for June 30. It’s time for outdoor lovers to consider where to cast their ballots, or possibly re-examine the platforms of their usual political party.
There are 1.2 million licensed anglers and hunters in Ontario, which is the equivalent to 29% of all voters in the 2011 provincial election.
Here are a couple of resources that might help you determine which party is going to win your vote.

The OFAH will post answers as they come in to this website.
