Ontario Hawking Club Inc Page of Apprenticeship Program Guidelines Introduction Falconry is the sport of hunting wild game with a trained bird of prey It is an ancient art that has captivated people for thousands of years in many cultures worldwide It offers unparalleled opportunities to experience the beauty power and intensity that raptors embody but it is not easy or simple In fact the sport requires a level of dedication and commitment that is unheard of to most people Not surprisingly the number of falconers is relatively small The Ontario Hawking Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and protecting the art and practice of falconry and the raptors that it employs The requirement for novice falconers to successfully complete an apprenticeship period is nearly universal in North American falconry regulations We support this requirement and believe that an effective apprenticeship program is essential to the long-term welfare of falconry The objective of the apprenticeship program is to produce high-quality falconers that are an asset to the sport and the wildlife on which it depends The purpose of this document is to set reasonable expectations for both the apprentice and the sponsor It is not a falconry manual Rather it highlights important areas that need to be addressed in the development of basic falconry skills and values as well as key activities that should take place during the apprenticeship period The Guide also outlines the preparation and equipment needed BEFORE a hawk is obtained The success of the apprenticeship program depends on the commitment of both sponsor and apprentice and this commitment should not be taken for granted by either party We believe that these guidelines will help to maximize the benefits of the apprenticeship program not only for the apprentice but also for the falconry community as a whole Why Apprenticeship These guidelines go beyond the minimum requirements of provincial falconry regulations They are designed to help you make the most of your apprenticeship and truly master the art of falconry ?? if you follow them Supporting and facilitating an effective apprenticeship program is an important function of the Ontario Hawking Club as it promotes the care welfare and responsible training of falconry birds The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources MNR recognizes the OHC ? s Apprenticeship Program Guidelines as meeting Provincial apprenticeship licencing requirements Please contact your local MNR district office for up-to-date information about the apprenticeship
