It looks like the province is now going to direct 100% of all freshwater license fees to the Freshwater Fisheries Society. A good thing as all revenue will be going directly into fisheries management/programs. Some may recall that previously the provincial government sucked 22% of license fees into the general revenue coffers.
Now that this is in place, it is time for a different governance model. The Freshwater Fisheries Society in my view should now be managed by a proper management board with CEO to provide direction to the society. In particular, I believe that those folks who directly fund the Society should have input into how it is managed through a proper management board structure. That way anglers could sit as Directors and provide management of the Society with governance direction.
This type of management model would in my view bring greater accountability to the Society to align programs and service delivery to the vision provided to it by those of us who directly provide the funds to run it.
