What is a Trout Unlimited Canada Chapter?

A Chapter is an organised group of TUC members who volunteer to do approved work in their local area on behalf of TUC.    

Some Chapters choose to do approved habitat enhancement work. These habitat projects are developed with the help of Trout Unlimited Canada's professional staff and in cooperation with appropriate regulatory authorities.

Some Chapters help raise money for the organization by forming a fundraising auction committee with a goal of holding of a fundraising event to raise the funds needed for local or national programs.  Trout Unlimited Canada has a dinner support program to help groups hold a successful event.  These events are critical to Trout Unlimited Canada's development as they provide the dollars and the members that permit the organization to continue to expand its base of activities.  These events also provide an increased profile to Trout Unlimited Canada in the communities in which they are held.
