Recreational Fishing Advisory Council (RFAC) meetings will continue to be held virtually but we will be trying a slightly different format this year. Instead of hosting region specific meetings, all meetings will share the same agenda so that participants may speak openly about any issues that are important to them and not feel geographically restricted. We want to hear from you on topics and issues in your area and across the province. You have a vast knowledge of the sport fishery, and your input and recommendations are valuable.

November 27, 2023 @ 6:30pm
