Firearms & Introduction to Hunting

The Canadian Firearms Program is administered by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Centre des armes à feu du Canada (CAFC).

The CTA is an important collaborator of this program as we believe in the safe and responsible use of firearms. The successful completion of a course of this module is a prerequisite for obtaining a Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) as required under the Canadian firearms act.

We have 19 certified Cree firearms instructors who offer training in the local communities. This enables us to provide the courses in English and Cree, which helps Cree students better grasp the information.

In Eeyou Istchee, the Canadian Firearms & Introduction to Hunting Programs are funded by the RCMP and by the regional CTA. This program contributes to Crees harvesting the land as they have always done.
