About Alberta Federation of Shooting Sports
We encourage everyone to shoot regardless of age, race, gender, or physical ability.
History
Established in 1974, the AFSS is registered as a non-profit organization under the Province's Societies Act. The AFSS is recognized as the provincial body for shooting sports in Alberta.
Objectives
The primary objectives of the Federation are to promote, foster, and preserve the shooting sports throughout the province.
As a sport funded by the Government of Alberta, the Alberta Federation of Shooting Sports (AFSS) is now mandated to have an independent third-party complaint process. AFSS has signed a contract with the Alberta Sport Leadership Association and their contracted independent third party adjudicators (ALIAS) to manage all complaints on behalf of AFSS. This new process is funded by the Alberta Government.
These new processes and policies are applicable to all AFSS participants, including athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, directors, employees, contractors, and members. The term "member" includes individuals and associations that have purchased direct membership with The Alberta Federation of Shooting Sports.
The AFSS receives funding and support from SPAR (Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation) under the Ministry of Tourism and Sport.
Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation offers operating grant programs to the provincial sport, physical activity and recreation organizations to support their role in the delivery of programs and services to Albertans.
