What is happening in Lake Simcoe communities this Family Day weekend?

Celebrate Family Day with Free Fishing and Winter Fun on Lake Simcoe

Family Day is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to get outside, embrace the season, and enjoy quality time with loved ones. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or just looking for a fun way to spend the long weekend, there’s something special happening across Ontario—free fishing!

No License Needed – Free Fishing in Ontario

From February 15 to 17, 2024, the Ontario government is offering free fishing, meaning you can drop a line in without a license! It’s a fantastic opportunity for both seasoned anglers and beginners to experience the joy of ice fishing. If you’ve never tried it before, this is your chance to step onto the ice, set up a line, and maybe even reel in a catch.

What You Need to Know:

  • No registration is required. Simply grab your gear and head out to the water!

  • Carry government-issued ID. Anglers must have identification that includes their name and date of birth.

  • Follow conservation limits. While a license isn’t needed, all fishing regulations, including size restrictions and catch limits, must be followed. (Some guidelines are posted below but be sure to confirm.)

Lake Simcoe: A Winter Wonderland

Many communities around Lake Simcoe have fully embraced winter, transforming the frozen lake into a hub of activity. If you head out, you’ll find pop-up fishing villages, complete with cozy ice huts, laughter filling the air, and families enjoying the simple pleasure of being outdoors. Ice fishing isn’t just about the fish—it’s about the experience: the crisp air, the camaraderie, and the thrill of pulling a catch through the ice.

More Ways to Enjoy Family Day Weekend

Beyond fishing, Lake Simcoe offers plenty of winter fun:

  • Skating & Ice Trails – Some local parks and towns have scenic skating paths that wind through snow-covered landscapes.

  • Snowshoeing & Hiking – Many trails in the York-Simcoe area are open for a peaceful winter trek.

  • Community Events – Check with your local municipality for special Family Day festivities, from outdoor bonfires to winter festivals.
