Ontario Power Generation is pleased to support the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (O.F.A.H.) TackleShare program. TackleShare is a lending program that enables children without equipment to borrow fishing gear and learn about fishing, conservation and water safety.

With the assistance of program supporters, over 120 loaner sites have been established across the province, including many Ontario Provincial Parks, public libraries, Conservation Authorities, Big Brothers and Big Sisters organizations and other community organizations. Participating anglers simply sign out a rod and reel and an assortment of tackle in the same way that they would borrow library books.

To date, thousands of children and novice anglers have taken advantage of the opportunity to get outside and try fishing on one of Ontario's thousands of waterways using TackleShare gear.

Join us for TackleShare Day at Toronto Island on July 11!

This year, O.F.A.H. TackleShare is hosting a launch event at Toronto Island from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 11. Aspiring anglers and their families are welcome to borrow TackleShare rods and reels to try shoreline fishing, and to learn about water safety, aquatic habitats, invasive species and fish identification. Participants will receive a 'Young Angler' licence and a water safety backpack.

Tackle Share Day at Toronto Island is presented by Ontario Power Generation. OPG reminds everyone to Stay Clear, Stay Safe around dams, hydroelectric stations and surrounding waterways.
