Kids Can Catch Trout Pond: Grand Opening - Sat July 07



Time: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

To kick off free fishing weekend and National Fishing Week, Bow Habitat Station will hold a grand opening celebration of its newest feature, the Kids Can Catch Trout Pond.

Albertans and visitors can fish without a licence in any public water body that has an open fishing season, outside of national parks.

Pancake Breakfast at 9 a.m. with activities throughout the day! Activities include:

- Trout Pond Dedication Ceremony
- Fishing
- Investigation Stations
- Discovery Centre special event pricing of $5

The Kids Can Catch Trout Pond brings angling opportunities and a love of natural places to young people living in the city. Visitors to the pond can practice catch-and-release fishing, and gain awareness and appreciation of Alberta's natural areas.

Bow Habitat Station is an interactive visitor centre that includes the Trout Pond, Discovery Centre, Sam Livingston Fish Hatchery and Pearce Estate Park Interpretive Wetland.

Kudos to the volunteers from the Calgary Hook & Hackle Club and the Calgary Women Fly Fishers Club who will be playing a big part in many of the activities at this special event.
