During Family Fishing Weekend (each year on Father’s Day weekend)

During Family Fishing Weekend (each year on Father’s Day weekend), Canadian residents can go fishing without purchasing a licence in most British Columbia lakes and streams; residents can also try their hand at tidal water (saltwater) fishing.

The Government of Canada is now offering British Columbians an opportunity to sport fish without a licence (except if you wish to fish for and retain a salmon). Find information at: http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/weekend-eng.htm
