Urban Recreational Fisheries Plan
Toronto and the GTA
Presented by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
Toronto Public Meeting and Official Presentation:
Tuesday October 29, 2013
Metro Hall, Room 308 and 309
55 John Street, Toronto, Ontario M5V 3C6
Doors open at 6:30 PM, presentation starts at 7:00 PM meeting to conclude at 9:00 PM
Five important public meetings are slated for this October and November around an exciting new initiative to create an Urban Recreational Fisheries Plan for Greater Toronto and Area. The planning process is being lead by the Ministry of Natural Resources and four Conservation Authorities – Toronto and Region, Credit Valley, Central Lake Ontario, and Ganaraska Region – and effectively covers the north shore of Lake Ontario from the western border of the City of Mississauga extending to the eastern border of Durham Region. Other partners in the process are the municipalities, federal and provincial agencies and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.
The plan will integrate information on the state of the fisheries and their habitat with existing plans and strategies to create a document to guide the partners and other interested parties in improving urban recreational fishing opportunities. The plan will look at improving access to shoreline fishing, taking a systematic approach to improving fish habitat, and promote the diverse fishing opportunities available along the waterfront.
The fall meetings will present a draft of the plan to the public. Public feedback will be incorporated into the plan, which is scheduled to be completed spring of 2014.
If you are unable to attend the Toronto Meeting then this would be your last opportunity to catch it.
