Confirmation replies will be sent in the order in which COMPLETE APPLICATIONS are received (see the 6 questions above). IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND: PLEASE CONTACT US AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! (Even the day before or the morning of the event, as this will allow us to try to offer the spot to another child and thereby avoid losing our funding »»» thank you for your understanding)
Date and time: Saturday, June 6, at the Moulin Seigneurial in Pointe-Du-Lac (Trois-Rivières) from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM.
Presentation on sport fishing (fish identification, best practices, regulations, etc.)
Live stocking (or in advance, depending on the fish farm’s availability)
Several interactive activities, including fishing in a natural body of water
A parent or guardian must remain on site throughout the entire activity. Safety equipment will be provided on-site, but if your child has sunglasses or safety goggles and a life jacket that fits, please bring them. Fishing rods are provided during the activity; if you wish to bring your child’s own rod, you may do so, but it is your responsibility. In case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled for the following day, Sunday, June 7, at the same time, and registered participants will be contacted by phone no later than Saturday morning (ideally on Friday).
Since the event is part of the Fishing Festival, the whole family will be able to join in without a license for the entire weekend and put their new skills to use!
