RRCA FAMILY FISHING DAY

July 7, 2023

10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Gray’s Creek Conservation Area, 18045 County Road 2, Cornwall, ON

Age: All ages Cost: Free Contact: info@rrca.on.ca

The Raisin Region Conservation Authority’s Family Fishing Day returns to Gray’s Creek Conservation Area on Friday, July 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The free event lets young anglers and their families try their hand at catching fish while also enjoying a barbecue and a chance to win several prizes through a friendly fishing competition. A fishing licence is not required, as the event takes place during Ontario’s licence-free fishing week. The event is a fun way for families to learn about the region’s fish species, practice proper fishing techniques, and simply enjoy spending time in nature together.

Hundreds of anglers of all skill levels typically join the event. While all ages are welcome, anglers aged 16 and under will have a chance to win prizes awarded for several categories, including biggest fish, smallest fish, and most fish caught. RRCA staff and volunteers will be on hand to help measure, weigh, and identify the day’s catches. Participants are strongly encouraged to observe proper fishing and water safety practices. For those without fishing equipment, the RRCA will be lending out rods, hooks and bobbers, while supplies last.

The signs must be at least 1 foot by 2 feet in size and be easy to read from the shoulder of the road (about 3 feet from the edge of the gravel shoulder). Spraying is not planned if you mow the ditch in front of your property on a regular basis (if the roadside ditch is maintained like your front lawn).

Spraying is planned to occur from the edge of the gravel shoulder to approximately 1 metre from the fence line. P38
