Those hoping to do something fun with the family for Father’s Day this weekend, can take advantage of free fishing across the province.
On June 19th and 20th, Ontarians can enjoy fishing province-wide without having to purchase a licence or carry an Outdoors Card.
John Yakabuski, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, says free fishing on Father’s Day weekend is a fun and safe way to bond with your family.
If you and your family are fishing during licence-free fishing periods or at other times, it’s important to help keep recreational fisheries healthy for future generations by:
- following conservation licence catch limits
- obeying size limits and sanctuaries
- following all other fishing regulations
To celebrate all Ontario families, the province is also offering free day-use permits at more than 100 Ontario Parks on Sunday.
The Province notes, to guarantee access to 17 select popular provincial parks, you can book a daily vehicle permit in advance of your visit.
Visit www.ontarioparks.com/dayuse for more information and a list of participating parks.
