Although the snow and cold temperatures might be keep people inside, the warm weather could see more people casting a line by the lake.
The provincial government passed new rulings that allow veterans and current serving members of the Canadian armed forces to fish without the need of a licence.
Fishing is often seen as a therapeutic, relaxing activity. The new rules give our past and present war fighters the chance to take a break, decompress and connect with nature.
The current cost of an Ontario fishing license is around $30 a year. Although the cost might not seem like a lot to be given back to our service members, it is the relaxation and memories that will be appreciated.
