The Canadian National Sportfishing Foundation (CNSF) is reminding Canadians that finding adventure can be as easy as walking to the park or taking a short drive to the lakeshore.
National Fishing Week, June 29 to July 7, 2024, is an annual event designed to encourage Canadians to experience the benefits of recreational fishing.
Fishing is an easy and affordable way to connect with nature and with each other. “Here in Canada, there is no shortage of water or opportunities to experience nature,” says Mike Melnik, Managing Director of the CNSF. “Most Canadians don’t have to travel very far to cast a line. Where I live in Ontario, I can walk just a few minutes in any direction and find a place to fish, and I know that’s the same in so many parts of Canada. And because fishing is relatively affordable during this time of high inflation, it means anyone can participate with little investment.”
