Last year the U.S. based National Wild Turkey Federation pulled out of Canada. The void they left has now been filled by our very own Canadian Wild Turkey Federation (CWTF).

The mission statement of the CWTF is:


  1. To promote the establishment, restoration, preservation and sustainable management of wild turkeys and their habitats in Canada.
  2. To develop programs and engage in projects to establish, restore, preserve and enhance wild turkey hunting practices, traditions and heritage.
  3. To promote responsible wild turkey hunting practices, traditions and heritage.
  4. To work with Governments, organizations and others to develop programs and engage in projects to protect and enhance wildlife habitat.
  5. To promote conservation, hunting, fishing, and other outdoor and wildlife oriented activities.
  6. To host, sponsor and promote educational, social, exhibition and other events for members and the public.



In the short time of its existence the CWTF has established numerous chapters across Canada and continues to grow. The CWTF is a not-for-profit organization.
