ilario Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 So I've decided to start up a fishing club at the high school I teach at in York Region... Not sure how I should go about this.. Anyone know of similar programs for teens? The school's in Thornhill (407 & Lesie) so it's not to far from a few good watersheds (rogue, Don) and some fishing ponds in Markham.. Hope to hear some suggestions! thanks!

Sinker Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 We had a fishing club at Ajax High school when I went there back in the day. Maybe contact them and ask some questions? Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_paul Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 PP You could contact East Elgin SS in Aylmer, ON. I believe that they have something similar to that there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 See OFSAA they are promoting new clubs for school and will pony up $800 to introduce the sport/activity. "Funding will be provided to a limited number of schools to introduce secondary school students to a new sport or physical activity through a one-day activity, intramural event, or clinic. The focus must be on sports and/or physical activities that have not been available to students in the past. Funds can be used to purchase equipment, instructors, travel, facility rental, transportation and/or other resource materials. " http://www.ofsaa.on.ca/site/index.cfm Go for it Poacher I would be interested in what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I would contact Wil Wigman. He does this at the Collage level I believe, and Im sure he would be a great person to talk to. [email protected]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuchikubo Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hey isn't that St. Roberts? Anyways, in Markham Toogood pond and Milne Park both have some angling opportunities. Don't bother with Waldon pond, the daily poachers have pretty much gutted the place (reminds me I need to bring a camera next time I go for a walk there, one guy had 5 lines in the water!). Another popular spot for river anglers is near 9th line and Steeles (not recommend for too large of a group of kids). Not sure if that helps.
