Thank you to Duane, Paul, Trish, Liz and the many others who have taken the time to help out on Sunday mornings with both Breakfast & Membership!

Both of these events will be put on hold for the summer while our volunteers take a much needed rest for the busy sundays that have been happening.

Thank you to all of you who have attended our Sunday morning Breakfast Social.  It is wonderful to see you all out supporting your club!

Breakfast & Membership will return in September!  See you all then!

Hello members,

Recently, a substantial amount of split and stacked firewood was taken from the Pinecone camping fire pit. This represented a substantial amount of work for one of our members, and we were counting on using it for our New Year's shoot yesterday.

This wood was taken since our snowfall, there are tire tracks and footprints in the snow. 

If anyone has any information at all regarding this incident, please contact any board member and bring the details forward. Anonymity will be guaranteed.

We want to remind everyone that just because you are a member of the club, it DOES NOT imply permission to remove anything from any club property that you did not bring there yourself. That is outright theft.

We are trying very hard to get our club back on its feet after some difficult years, not to mention the problems that Covid has brought to the table.

Please keep this in mind when using the facilities.

Hello all,

For this event on Jan 1, 2022, from 10:30 am onwards until end of day, the 300 meter rifle range will be closed.

Only .22 cal rifles and pistols will be allowed at the Multi-use pit as well.

This is to avoid heavy gunfire in other areas of the range while there is a cease fire during the .22 Free and Fun Shoot.

Thank you for your cooperation

SCRGC Board of Directors

Hello all members,

The Club is going to put on a .22 rimfire metal silhouette shoot on New Year's Day 2022! The fun starts at 10:30 am and goes until, well, not too sure. As long as we want!

This will be a completely free shoot at the Pinecone Range, everyone is welcome to come and shoot, or just watch the fun and chat with your friends.

Free hot dogs and pop will be provided for everyone, and there will be a warm fire, or fires as it may turn out, to stand around and stay warm.

For this event, the main gate to the Pinecone will be left open. It will be closed and locked at the end of the shoot.

We hope to see lots of members there, both new and long term, to renew the comradery that has been the backbone of our club for years.

Looking very much forward to seeing you there!

Dear Mr. _______,

I am writing today as one of your constituents to express my disbelief and disappointment over the action taken by Mr. Trudeau and the federal government against legal firearm owners.

As a lifelong target shooter, shooting sports enthusiast, legal firearm owner and individual affected by the recent action, I strongly feel that the use of an order-in-council ban is an egregious overstepping of the legislative process, and that the action taken will be completely ineffective in combating crime and gun violence in Canada. It is widely documented that the overwhelming majority of firearms used in crime are smuggled into the country illegally and used by criminals who do not abide by the law. Legal firearm owners in Canada are among the most thoroughly vetted individuals and are statistically less likely than other residents of Canada to commit crime. This order-in-council action unfairly targets the legal firearm owner community in what appears to be an attempt to show false progress on combating crime and simultaneously fails to address the issue of criminal gun violence.

I believe that bypassing the legislative process via an order-in-council action is extraordinarily undemocratic and reinforces my confidence in my decision to not vote Liberal in federal elections.

I implore you to consider the facts, consider the results of Petition e-2341 and encourage Mr. Trudeau and his cabinet to rethink this misstep.

Yours sincerely,
<Full Name>
<Address>
