Conservatives in Oshawa are hunting up donations with a “family friendly” fundraiser at a shooting range.

Oshawa MP Dr. Colin Carrie is the advertised special guest at The Long Range Target Shoot Fundraiser to be held Saturday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Orono Fish and Hunt Club.

“Join us for a family friendly day at the range including a demonstration by trained staff and the opportunity to safely discharge a wide variety of firearms,” the invitation says.

Images accompanying the invite show a long gun and a handgun.

Heather McConaghy, director and event chair of the Oshawa Conservative Electoral District Association, said in an e-mail Monday that range officers will be on site to enforce the safety regulations of the club.

The Conservative Party did not offer up a comment to explain why this shooting range event was chosen as a “family friendly” fundraiser.

Attendance at the event costs $65 per person.
