Lots Of Fishing Opportunities In GTA And Other Urban Areas
TORONTO, June 21 /CNW/ - Anglers of all ages can enjoy excellent fishing
opportunities in urban areas close to home, Natural Resources Minister David
Ramsay announced today.
"More than 50 public waterways in the Greater Toronto Area alone offer
fine fishing," said Ramsay as he dropped a line at the Rouge Marshes today
with a group of young anglers from the Toronto Kiwanis Boys and Girls Clubs.
"You can jump on the bus, the subway or a bike, and in minutes you can cast
for a carp or perch and feel like you've left the city behind."
This is the second year of 'Get Fishing' -- a three-year pilot program to
increase urban recreational fishing in the GTA, Ottawa-Carleton, and
Hamilton-Burlington areas. The program promotes angling opportunities for
young people and new Canadians and encourages fishing for underutilized
species. Last year the program supported 17 youth fishing events attended by
almost 6,000 participants.
