Fishing Summit Meetings for Toronto

[tangledline]

Many of the individuals are part of the fishing summit due to job title...others for their outstanding contribution to the sport....yet i am ingnorant of the original criteria....the summit is a closed door meeting....minutes do not become public...additions to the group are voted upon by those members and its membership is very limited. TUFA recieved a seat due to its efforts to establish political will to pass a motion to allow fishing in Toronto and lift the ban on fishing. The Fishing Summit Committee has an agenda i would expect...we are being allowed to attend to understand what changes will be made in the future...we may be able to make recommendations but thats it....this is not necessarily the democratic process you may have been hoping for or a place you can voice your concerns...i really do not believe they want to stray from their agenda.
You have asked about the TPA Fishing Derby....TPA approached Toronto Parks and Recreation too late in the season and with too limited a scope to make it happen or for TPFR to want to make it happen...not on the same page and too difficult for the kids to catch small fish from harbour walls in Oct....next year if it happens at all.
Sometimes the "Partners" in Fishing events have different agendas or priorities and the timing or teams just do not materialize...
You only have to look at the leafs for that....Toronto should have won a cup in my lifetime but they haven't yet the franchise is still sucessful.Promises are not always met not because of a lack of intent or will but other factors.
