The world's leading conservation volunteers find motivation through the traditions of fishing and hunting.

The OFAH / Mario Cortellucci Hunting and Fishing Heritage Centre is named in honor of Mr. Mario Cortellucci, a proud conservationist and member of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. We appreciate Mr. Cortellucci's commitment to help the OFAH share the conservation message with students, teachers and parents who will enjoy this educational facility for years to come.
