Learn to Fish – Mississauga – Lakefront Promenade and Lake Aquitaine

By Announcement, Events, Parks, Ward 1

Free Learn to Fish Program 2024

Last year, City of Mississauga Parks staff worked with the MNRF to deliver their Learn to Fish program in an urban centre.  They had 10 pop-up sessions between Lake Aquitaine and Lakefront Promenade throughout Summer 2023.  These sessions had 219 participants in total with an equal split between children and adults.  The participation was higher than anticipated and MNRF was not expecting such a high percentage of adults.

As a result of the success of these 10 sessions, staff have been working with MNRF to bring the Learn to Fish program to Mississauga on a more regular basis.  We are happy to announce that the program will be at Lakefront Promenade and Lake Aquitaine starting this weekend to the end of August all summer long.

The Learn to Fish program is a free program that teaches new anglers of all ages how to fish in Ontario. This fun and engaging 2–hour program combines a 1-hour practical teaching session with one hour of supervised hands-on fishing.

Sign up with your group by reaching out to Leah Silverman at parks.communitydevelopment@mississauga.ca. To sign up individually online: Learn to Fish | ontario.ca

Dates available from mid-June to the end of August at Lake Aquitaine or Lakefront Promenade.
