Astorville - Good news stories aren’t easy to find. But there will be smiles all around during the annual Kids Fishing Tournament on Saturday July 9, hosted by the Nosbonsing Get Outdoors Club & Nosbonsing Anglers & Hunters.

Children will be joining local police officers at The Government Dock on Big Moose Road from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm for some fishing fun, great prizes and giveaways. To qualify for a $50 Walmart gift card, children are asked to register by July 1.

Participants can look forward to free barbequed hotdogs and refreshments, as well as prizes for everyone, including a trophy for the Overall Biggest Fish.

This event is part of the Canada-wide celebration, National Fishing Week, July 2 through 10. To learn more, visit www.catchfishing.com.

Also July 2 to 10: the annual Ontario Family Fishing Week. For one full week, Canadian residents can enjoy the fun of fishing in Ontario, under conservation limits, without the need of a licence!

The event in Astorville is sponsored by Fishing Forever, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to funding worthwhile fishing, conservation and education projects. It is also supported by the Police Association of Ontario, Canadian Tire and the Nosbonsing Get Outdoors Club.

Fishing Forever chair Bob Izumi is an avid supporter of recreational fishing for both the young and the young at heart. “I love to create opportunities for children and families to go fishing,” states Izumi. “Fishing is one of the very best ways for parents and other adults to establish productive and healthy relationships with children.”
