The Canadian National Trappers Alliance, with a founding membership composed of provincial and territorial trapper associations, came into being on June 12 and 13, 1996. The CNTA brings together those associations formerly represented by the CTF and the Trappers Alliance; together, we will be much stronger.

The Canadian National Trappers Alliance is the only National trapping organization in Canada. The aim of the Alliance is to promote the welfare of Canadian trappers, and maintain and enhance the heritage of the wild fur industry as a sustainable resource.
