Every year, the Lesser Slave Watershed Council (LSWC) hosts an event called Kids Can Catch with community partners. It is a day stacked with fun for people of all ages, including activities in the Joussard Community Hall, free food, prizes, and of course, free fishing.

Some folks might wonder how this kind of event would apply to the work that we do at the LSWC. Well, it all comes down to good lake stewardship.

A critical piece of the Kids Can Catch event is that it always happens on Free Fishing Weekend in Alberta, which means that everyone can fish for free, without a fishing license, on Family Day weekend in February and the weekend immediately following Canada Day in July every year. This event also offers the opportunity for folks from all backgrounds and experience levels to come out and try fishing for the first time, without equipment costs or other barriers. It is important to remember that just because fishing is free on these special days of the year, everyone is still expected to follow fishing regulations. Fishing regulations can be different from lake to lake, so it is important to know the rules before you go out.
