Local MP Carol Hughes is highlighting the importance of travelling anglers for local economies - particularly with international travel "off the schedule for another summer".
Speaking to a recent Parliamentary session, the Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing MP suggested people are looking for safe and healthy vacation options amid the pandemic, noting the way leisure time and dollars were spend amid the pandemic last year.
Hughes further touted the variety of fishing adventures available across the region, including "tiny streams" and "productive bays", with "exclusive American Plan lodges, housekeeping cabins, campgrounds, and more".
