About Conversation on CWD
This years OFAH conference is focused on CWD. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a highly infectious, incurable and completely fatal disease affecting all members of the deer family. In Ontario this includes white-tailed deer, moose, elk and caribou. The disease has already been detected in three Canadian provinces and 25 American states and is known to have devastating impacts on wildlife. CWD is not solely a hunting issue. It is a wildlife conservation issue and we all need to work together to address it.

This event will be highlighted by informative presentations and thought-provoking discussions that showcase leading CWD experts from across North America. Additionally, the conference will provide excellent networking opportunities with other conservation organizations, scientists, Indigenous communities, wildlife managers, government officials, as well as other outdoors enthusiasts to share ideas, experiences and a passion for wildlife conservation.
The outcomes of this event will not only demonstrate the need for positive policy changes, but also help establish the common ground to build a broad collaborative of interested groups that can work together beyond the event to influence timely and effective actions on CWD.
