Ian was the Director of the British Falconers Club, Hawk Board Co-ordinator, Falconry Consultant to the Countryside Alliance in the UK and since being in Canada has continued to be actively involved at a Provincial Club Level.

Jon Cooper
​
Secretary
Jon was born right into the rugged Rocky Mountains, surrounded by snow, a month too early, eager to see the world, in Rocky Mountain House, AB. From then on, open spaces have been imbedded in his spirit, with lots of room to wander and horses to keep him company. Jon operated and ran a performance horse training business for 10 years in Alberta before the prairies of Saskatchewan called him to be a Police officer in the city of Regina.
Jon has always been fascinated with flight, birds of prey and has just recently joined the SFC as a valued member of the team. He is eager to learn, grow and is the keeper of the clubs Tiercel Peregrine Falcon.
Jon is an avid hunter and outdoorsman who is passionate to see the youth of today learn and have a deep respect for the land and the wild beasts that roam it.
