The city has officially reversed the fishing ban along our waterfronts. It is encouraging to see that persistence can lead to meaningful change in how our public spaces are managed. Please remain observant as these areas reopen to ensure we continue to treat our shared shorelines with care.

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 below, it only takes 2 seconds.

Here is a link to a City TV video report:

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.

This is ridiculous. My dad taught me to fish on these shores and now they want to stop kids from doing the same. Leave us alone.
So much for a public space. If they can ban this what else are they gonna take away from us next?
The waterfront is for everyone not just people on fancy boats. Why keep regular people away from the water?
Absolute joke. City hall has nothing better to do than go after people sitting on a bucket with a rod and reel?
been fishing those piers for 20 years. never once caused an issue. let us fish!
