Fédération Québécoise des Chasseurs et Pêcheurs

What Fédération Québécoise des Chasseurs et Pêcheurs does

Fédération québécoise des chasseurs et pêcheurs (FédéCP) is a Quebec-based non-profit association founded in 1946 and headquartered in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures. It is the accredited provincial federation representing hunters, anglers, and sport shooters across Quebec, organized through 17 regional member associations spanning Bas-Saint-Laurent, Capitale-Nationale, Côte-Nord, and the other administrative regions. Its mission centers on three pillars — representing, educating, and promoting hunting, fishing, and wildlife conservation — and it serves both individual members and 17 regional associations, with broader initiatives aimed at youth, women, and newcomers to outdoor activities.

FédéCP's core offering is a portfolio of certification, training, community, and conservation programs rather than a technology product. The Sécurit\u00e9 nature (PESCOF) program delivers the government-mandated hunter safety certification through the online learning platform formation.fedecp.com. Complementary products include the Réseau Sauvage event-discovery platform, the Allons pêcher interactive fishing map, the Zone Chasse mobile hunting app, the Trophée Québec recognition program, the Chiens de chasse resource, the Fauniquement femme Latulippe women's initiative, and operation of the Héritage Faune foundation (founded 1980), which runs the Dragons de la relève youth scholarship program and reinvests about $5 million annually into roughly 300 wildlife projects. Marketing and distribution are multi-channel: email newsletters, blog and media library, community events, annual congress, and direct engagement through 17 regional associations.

FédéCP operates a non-profit membership model. Revenue comes from individual, associative, community, and partner membership fees (with $6 per membership directed to Héritage Faune), donations (eligible for tax receipts), an online boutique for merchandise and recipe books, and training/certification services. The organization is lean — 8 employees supported by roughly 1,500 volunteers — and outsources field activity to regional associations. Key partners include the Quebec ministry MELCCFP, SEPAQ, the Fondation de la faune du Québec, Pêches et Océans Canada, Réseau ZEC, the Fédération des pourvoiries du Québec, FQSA, FTGQ, and the Alliance pour l'accès à la nature advocacy coalition.

• Fondation de la faune du Québec: Quebec's principal wildlife conservation foundation, partner and co-funder with FédéCP on wildlife projects. Provides comparable funding/scholarship mechanisms to Héritage Faune and operates in the same Quebec conservation ecosystem.

• Safari Club International: International hunting advocacy organization with conservation programs. Comparable to FédéCP in hunting advocacy and conservation funding model, but operates globally with a much broader hunting focus.

Emerging players

• Trout Unlimited Canada: Canadian coldwater fisheries conservation organization. Comparable to FédéCP's fishing-related conservation work (Pêche en herbe, Allons pêcher) but with narrower species focus.

Regional players

• Fédération Nationale des Chasseurs (France): France's national hunters' federation with regional associations and government-recognized training. Closest international structural peer to FédéCP given the European francophone equivalent of Quebec's federation model.
