The staff of the Fish and Wildlife Division works in close cooperation with 

 many professional associations and sporting associations. Representatives 

 attend meetings of the Ontario Federation of Commercial Fishermen, the Ontario 

 Fur Breeders' Association, and many fish and game protective associations 

 throughout the Province. 



Grants were given to the two associations mentioned above, and also the 

 Niagara District Pheasant Breeders' Association, Mrs. E. L. Marsh, Mr. E. T. 

 Jones, and the Jack Miner Migratory Birds Foundation.

 Ontario Research Commission, and sit on many of the committees of that 

 organization.

 and New York State was held in Toronto under the sponsorship of the former 

 Department of Game and Fisheries.
