The 11th Annual Great Canadian Reception at SHOT Show Las Vegas

The world’s largest firearms exhibition – The Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada – is the perfect venue to meet and collaborate with business owners and firearms community advocates from around the world.

This year’s event was a sell-out success, with over 250 representatives of Canada’s firearms industry attending our Wednesday night event 108 floors above Las Vegas at the Stratosphere’s Air Bar.

Together, we celebrated our community and renewed our commitment to defend our culture and heritage in the face of non-stop attacks by the federal Liberal government. 

We also discussed how we can help bring meaningful change to Canada in the federal election that will likely be called in March.

We all look forward to working with a government that respects the rights and heritage of Canadians, something the current federal government knows nothing about.

CSSA has been proud to host The Great Canadian Reception at SHOT Show for many reasons, but primarily because this event provides Canadian businesses and firearms advocates the opportunity to meet, network and collaborate with one another.

This event, which began in CSSA Director Micheal Duynhoven’s hotel room in 2013, is now the premier event for Canadians attending the largest firearms industry trade show in the world. His Herculean efforts grew this event into the signature event for Canadians attending SHOT Show each year. Great job, Mike!

Year after year, attendees call the CSSA reception “the most coveted invitation for Canadians at SHOT” because of the incredible opportunity it provides us to renew old friendships and forge new relationships with one common goal: to protect and defend the rights, freedoms and responsibilities of Canadian firearms owners.

The world’s best and brightest advocates from the World Forum on Shooting Activities (WFSA) – of which CSSA is a founding member – meets at SHOT Show to share the latest and most effective tactics, strategies and communications techniques from around the globe.

“We are proud to host The Great Canadian Reception at SHOT Show every year,” said Tony Bernardo, Executive Director of the Canadian Shooting Sports Association. “We’re grateful for our event sponsors who support our vision of a united Canadian firearms community.”

Notable guests at this year’s event include:

  • Bob Barr – President, National Rifle Association
  • Charles Fowler – Fair Trade Group
  • Teri Bryant – Chief Firearms Officer, Alberta
  • Robert Freberg – Commissioner of Firearms, Saskatchewan
  • Edward Burlew – Noted Canadian Firearms Lawyer
