The Canadian Association of Aquarium Clubs {CAOAC}
:tropicalfish:
As quoted from the CAOAC Website (http://www.caoac.on.ca):
"CAOAC was born in the late fifties (incorporated in 1963) to allow the clubs to work together for their common good and the good of the hobby. Legislative issues, promotion of events, a judging system, national awards, assistance for new clubs, & liability insurance are just a few of the things on which clubs can work and benefit together. Recently, a Fish Rescue Program has begun. This has been developed with outside partners who also have an interest in our hobby and environmental issues.
Some of the benefits of belonging to CAOAC are listed below.
A national awards program to honour those in member clubs who have achieved success in breeding, plant propagation, or other endeavours related to the hobby.
A national judging program to train and certify judges as well as set standards that all can use to judge their shows.
A third-party liability insurance program to protect club members in case of an unfortunate accident at one of their functions.
A national forum to express views and opinions.
A national voice to deal with legislation which may impact negatively on our hobby and to put forward constructive ideas to politicians and bureaucrats.
A chance to become involved with people who share similar interests with yourselves."Please e-mail (miecia@rogers.com) for membership details.
