I sent off this email to Paula Fletcher at city hall today:

"Good day,

Thanks for keeping me up to date, much appreciated. Of course I will fill out the survey.

I would point out however that this Master Plan makes no mention of angling. This I find quite unacceptable as I believe you might - considering your recent past championing of fishing opportunities (with your Gone Fishing proposals at City Hall).

I further note that the Park’s website, that this survey is available at, does not list angling at any in of its parks - including Toronto island. We both know this is incorrect. Anglers are a significant group of park users, tax payers, and voters.

It seems apparent that the personal negative opinions of someone within Parks management may once again be culminating in the unfair segregation and persecution of anglers and our gentle pastime. We are no different from dog walkers or picnic’ers,….etc…. and should be treated equally with similar consideration in all things. They are our parks too.

My angling friends and I hope that you will again aid in the correction of this “oversight”. Please expose this misguided agenda and help stop this abuse both now and going forward in time.

Regards,"
