On June 5th 2012 the City of Toronto posted 'No Fishing' signs along all of its waterfronts, lots of them! The reason and rational for this ban is as of yet unknown.
Just the thought of banning fishing from shore in Toronto is outrageous, and yet the infinite wisdom of City officials has lead them to do just that. There is strength in numbers, we need to let City Hall know that we will not stand for such a blatant and unwarranted infringement of our rights! With enough signatures maybe we can show City Hall that we are serous, and that we are not going away! Please sign up and share the petition with your friends. Let's not let this issue get swept under the rug!
Please take a minute to sign the on-line petition, it only takes 2 seconds: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/saynotothetorontofishingban
Please also visit and’ Like’ the ‘Say No To The City Of Toronto Fishing Ban’ Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SayNoToTheTorontoFishingBan
More details on the ban can be found here: http://www.torontosun.com/2012/06/10/fishing-fight-on-the-waterfront
If we make enough noise and collect a good number of signatures I'm confident that we can get this ridiculous ban revoked.
Thank you for your support. |

Ok, NPS, you need to sponsor a fishing Derby, downtown toronto on the
family Day weekend (so that everyone can come) and one of the rules
should be that you can only fish from the shore ;-)

Thanks guys, and agreed Dan, maybe NPS can help get the word out to
members here. We need as many people as possible to sign the petition
(I have added a link in the thread) and 'Like' The Facebook page. If
we don't ALL do our part nothing will change and this issue will fall
by the wayside. Please act now!

Thanks for posting this Shaun! I just signed the petition, the city
is run by idiots! All the negative publicity they have been getting
for shootings and violence and now attaching law abiding sportsman.
Let us know if there are other folks we can call and voice our
displeasure with.

Thanks guys, I think our best bet is to get as many signatures on the
petition as possible, that way we have a larger voice to take to the
officials who felt the need to implement and initiate this craziness.
Post the link on as many sites as you can and forward it via e-mail to
everyone you know. Cheers!

I find it somewhat ironic that the Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA) are Hosting an event tonight at the Gladstone Hotel
in Toronto to promote urban fishing to residents of the city. I guess
this is yet another great example of one Government agency not knowing
what the other is doing, definitely a clear lack of communication.
On the one hand you have the TRCA working on a productive initiative
to help Anglers better enjoy our urban waters, and on the other you
have the Parks Department making seemingly illogical and arbitrary
counter productive decisions to prevent residents of Toronto from
enjoying the wonderful resources we have available.
Here's a link to the TRCA Urban Fishing event tonight:

I'm very curious to find out who's ridiculous idea this was... and
what the REAL reason and rationale behind the ban was? I'm sorry, the
'Safety issue' excuse is just not cutting it for me and is very weak.
