Absolutely. As soon as Dave C gets word back from the council, or if they make another move like the random no fishing signs of last spring, we will need to post updates on as many of the fishing sites as possible. Any help spreading the information, or contacting the council direct to express views / concerns / approval would be welcomed.

Toronto Urban Fishing Ambassadors are continuing with the program of keeping positive fishing stories in the public eye and helping local kids get started on a lifetime of fishing wherever possible. There has been some great feedback from the events earlier in the year. I understand that TUFA has been contacted by one of the Toronto police units and asked to provide hands on assistance with another kids fishing event coming up, plus the possibility of a council sponsored event. (I dont have details on these yet)

We are sure its not over yet, but we did get all the signs removed and have enjoyed a good summer fishing as opposed to being harrassed by the Marine unit every time we set foot on the harbourfront, so a temporary "quit while you're ahead" and focus on community events seemed appropriate.
