Some members may have received duplicate copies of our October newsletter and we apologize for that. The service we use to send them experienced some difficulties and as a result duplicates were sent.

It appears this has now been resolved.

Gun Club/Range Executives:

On September 2, 2015, the government passed a new “Bill” called the “Common Sense Bill C-42”, which changed the way we look at Authorization to Transport Permits.

As the Firearms Act changed in 2015, the old Authorization to Transport Permit that I use to issue to you on behalf of your Members are not needed.

The government changed the permits into a condition that will be electronically add to the Members licence, when an individual gets a new/renewal licence with restricted privileges, and possesses at least one restricted firearm. 

I have been receiving many calls and emails from Members all over the Province asking for Authorization to Transport Permits to go back & forth to their respective Gun Club/Ranges, so please forward this information to your Members and Post at the Gun Club/Range.  

Thank you

As of January 1st 2020 recent changes to the guest policy at East Elgin will be implemented.  Members and their guests will now be required to make use of one shooting station only and have only one person at a time shooting.  This change is due to recent incidents involving unsupervised guests and is aimed at preventing the EESA from experiencing similar situations as two other clubs in Southern Ontario have.  Below is our entire Guest Policy with the changes.

Guest Policy

PLEASE NOTE: Members with guests are now required to make use of one shooting station only and only one person at a time shooting, this change is the result of recent incidents by unsupervised guests. This also assures shooting stations will be available for members.
Each member is allowed to bring up to 3 guests at a time  and up to 3 times per year. This means any guest may only attend a maximum of 3 times in a year.

New members during their probationary period (90 days) are allowed to bring only 1 guest at a time.

Guests MUST complete and place in the office mail slot a Guest / Visitor waiver located in the club house. All ranges also have waivers and mail boxes supplied to deposit forms. This form MUST be completed or the member is putting the club at risk. If the form is not completed the Guest / Visitor is NOT covered by our insurance and any incidents that may occur are the sole responsibility and liability of the member who brought the guest. Failure to complete the required form(s) will result in a 30 day suspension of guest privileges.
Understand that members are 100% responsible for the actions of their guests at all times and must not be left unattended at any time. Members must ensure their guests do not have unsupervised access to any firearm unless that person is licensed for that type of firearm. Supervision of a shooter on the firing line is one on one.
