Alberta Professional Outfitters Society (APOS)
Our society represents 500 professional outfitters and nearly 1,600 hunting guides, generating a $327 million contribution to Alberta's gross domestic product, and supporting rural jobs and economies throughout the province.
In 1997, the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society (APOS) was established as a delegated administrative organization (DAO) for the Government of Alberta. APOS’ delegated responsibilities include licensing the province’s guides and professional outfitters, managing the distribution of big game allocations and waterfowl privileges, and holding members accountable to a Code of Ethics. We also provide members with competitive liability insurance, a voice within government, and advocacy on key issues.
