Detroit River Family Fishing Day

Come join us! The Detroit River Family Fishing Day will be held on Saturday July 5 2025 from 8am to 12pm at Front Road Park. This park is located at 1 Laurier Drive, the intersection of Laurier Driver and Front Road, LaSalle, ON. Parking available at the public lot on Adams Lane. 

This event takes place during Ontario Family Fishing Event week when residents can fish in Ontario waters without the mandatory license. Join expert anglers from Just Fishin’ Friends for a fun morning on the river. Fishing equipment will be available for public use for free and there will be displays, giveaways and more!

Participants are encouraged to bring their own rods (if they have them) as we have a limited number available, personal flotation devices for those under the age of 18, folding chairs, a hat, sunscreen/bug spray, reusable water bottle, snacks and plenty of patience while waiting for a bite!

All children must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent or legal guardian who will be required to sign a waiver and release form on site for each participating child. 

For more information please contact Gina Pannunzio, Partnerships and Outreach Coordinator at 519-776-5209 ext. 245 or email gpannunzio@erca.org
