About Learn to Fish
The Government of Ontario’s Learn to Fish program teaches people the art of angling in a way that aligns with conservation ideals.
This approach allows for the enjoyment of fishing, while at the same time supporting the goal of conserving and protecting fish populations.
Learn to Fish classes are offered throughout the summer at two TRCA sites: Tommy Thompson Park (1 Leslie Street, Toronto) and Heart Lake Conservation Park (10818 Heart Lake Road, Brampton).
The Learn to Fish program at Tommy Thompson Park is generously funded by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
TRCA and Fishing
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) prides itself on offering limitless opportunities for people to get out into nature — for fun, for exercise, for family time, and for greater well-being of body, mind, and spirit.
TRCA encourages everyone to enjoy our greenspaces, parks, and conservation areas — and fishing is one of many popular activities that bring people outdoors.
