The CCFMS is not ashamed to publicly acknowledge our commentary as well as our involvement.

This is comment FOUR of 11 comments that the CCFMS feels are critical to the Ontario Hobby Mineral Collecting Guide:

Page 4, About hobby mineral collecting
• The 2014 draft of the Hobby Mineral Collecting Policy reviewed by the CCFMS included the clause “For the purpose of this Policy, the terms “panning” and “fossil collecting” are interchangeable with, and mean the same thing as hobby mineral collecting.”

• The draft Hobby Mineral Collecting Guide posted on the Environmental Registry makes no reference to either panning or fossils.

• The CCFMS recommends that – for the sake of clarity – the clause indicating hobby mineral collecting is consistent with and interchangeable with panning and fossil collecting be added to the current Guide.
