This weekend is the annual summer Family Fishing Weekend.

All across the province, fishing licenses are not required for Manitobans to bring their families on the water and catch some fish on Saturday and Sunday.

Linda Horner, the District Park Supervisor with Manitoba Conservation, says that along with free park entry to Paint Lake, there will be a special event at the amphitheatre in the park.

“We’re having the K-9 unit, Hunter, coming out to do a demonstration for us at the park, 7 pm at the Paint Lake amphitheatre. The dog is used for various duties with Sustainable Development, so he’s just going to test his skills trying to find fish and wildlife and show what he can do.”
