Those still trying to plan something fun to do with the family to celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend, can take advantage of free fishing across the province.
On May 10th and 11th, Ontarians can enjoy fishing province-wide without having to purchase a licence or carry an Outdoors Card.
“Fishing is a timeless Ontario tradition that brings people together. Whether you’re an experienced angler or casting a line for the first time, fishing is a great way to connect with loved ones and enjoy everything the great outdoors has to offer,” said Mike Harris, Minister of Natural Resources. “This Mother’s Day weekend, why not get outside and enjoy the water with friends and family, all while supporting local jobs and communities that thrive through fishing.”
During this free fishing period however, it is essential to carry valid identification issued by the provincial or federal government and should include both your name and date of birth.
Catch limits, size limits, sanctuaries and other regulations still apply. For more details or to find places to fish this weekend, visit OntarioFamilyFishing.com.
Free fishing in Ontario will also be available June 14th and 15th for Father’s Day and from June 28th through July 6th during Family Fishing Week.
