Canadian residents will again be able to sample Ontario's fishing opportunities, licence-free, during the weekend of July 3-11, 2010. Sponsored by a diverse range of government and non-government organizations, the Weekends are designed to remind people of the recreational and economic value of Ontario's recreational fishery, and the importance of sustaining and enhancing it for future generations. Anglers without a licence must abide by the limits set for the Conservation Licence. All other fees and regulations apply and will be enforced, including size limits and sanctuaries.
