History of the Rod and Gun Club

The Powell River Rod and Gun Club has been operating for over 70 years growing with the community of Powell River.  It started in 1937 as a fishing club that grew to include hunting and wildlife conservation.  The club became official in 1938 and included in its charter a commitment to "promote co-operation and good sportsmanship among those engaged in fishing and hunting and to protect, preserve and to propagate fish, game and forests for the use of the general public."
