SPECIAL NOTICE:
By
the
time you receive this report, most members with A. T. T.s
should have received their A. T. T. for 2007.
If you have not, you
would have been notified directly from C.P.F.O., the club is only
advised that it has NOT been issued, NOT the reason why NOT.
All
permits have been received from C.P.F.O. and you will notice, if you
looked at the permit, the issue date varies from October 1st, 2006
and will expire on your birthday, any where from a few months to a
maximum of five [5] years [September 30th, 2011]. The responsibility
from the RENEWAL of YOUR FIREARM LICENCE IS YOURS. The other
condition of the permit is that you must be a Amember
in good standing@ [paying
your Club Dues on time]. If your dues are not paid by DEC 31ST each
year
you're
A T T will be CANCELLED!!!!
I
have
had many members NOT renew their POL/PAL by the expiry date on their
firearm
licence [their birthday]. In the meantime the Club has sent in
requests for the
issuance
of their A.T.T., only to have it NOT issued because of the fore
mentioned
situation. If you did not receive a renewal application in the mail,
you can
download
a copy
[PDF] for the Gov’t web site [www.cfc.gc.ca]. CFC requires
minimum of three
[3]
weeks before the expiry date to process your application in a timely
manner,
anything
less will not guarantee a return to you before your current one
expires.
COMMENT:
I
have
noticed at the Range Backstop positions that there has been an array
of various improvised targets that some club members seem to enjoy
shooting at [i.e. pumpkins
B
25 yard Range, pop cans and plastic bottles, as well as clay birds on
the 50 & 100 yard backstops]. Any and all targets not
approved by
The Board of Directors is a VIOLATION of the Club Bylaws and Club
Rules, this practice MUST STOP. Any one caught will have to be dealt
with by The Board of Directors.
