CHINOOK WILDFOWL CARVERS ASSOCIATION

MAIN OBJECTIVE:
To promote interest, respect, appreciation and awareness of wildfowl.


The main objective of the Chinook Wildfowl Carvers Association is to promote interest, respect, appreciation, and awareness of wildfowl, by exhibiting and competing with carvings of wildfowl, through its members and guests.

It is our intent to promote interest and protect the status of wildfowl carvers in the City of Calgary and surrounding districts. And to promote carving as an art form. Through wildfowl carving we are attempting to promote public awareness as to the necessity for the protection of wildfowl generally.

It is our goal to create and encourage active interest in wildfowl, through social gatherings, educational seminars, carving clinics and displays, competitions of creativity, and through national and international alliances with other such organizations.
