Enjoy Free Fishing on Mother’s Day Weekend

• In honor of Mother’s Day Ontario is offering Canadian residents the opportunity to fish for free across Ontario this weekend, May 10 and 11.

• 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.

• Recreational fishing is also a vital part of Ontario’s economy and contributes significantly to local tourism and jobs. Over one million licensed anglers spend $1.75 billion per year on recreational fishing in Ontario.

• If you are fishing for free during the Mother’s Day weekend, all conservation licence catch and size limits, sanctuaries and all other fishing regulations still apply.  

• Your Ontario fishing licences can be purchased online at huntandfishontario.com. If buying online, always look for the Ontario logo. You can also purchase in person at participating ServiceOntario or authorized licence issuer locations.
