Transcript of senior anglers of Nova Scotia. anglers of Nova Scotia. Forward People are drawn to sportfishing for...
Committed to enhancing
angling opportunities for
physically challenged and
senior anglers of Nova Scotia.
Forward
People are drawn to sportfishing for different reasons. Some seek
the solitude of the back country, others a rustic campsite nestled in
the woods, while others look for a social setting with convenient
facilities. No matter what the reason or the setting, they all seek an
enjoyable outdoor angling experience.
Individuals with disabilities and seniors have diverse recreational
needs and preferences, yet for a large and growing segment of our
population, few areas are accessible for sportfishing.
This brochure highlights the various Barrier Free sportfishing sites
across the province and will serve as a valuable tool for handicapped
and senior anglers. It provides information on: (1) the Barrier Free
Access to Sportfishing Program, (2) where the sites are located, (3)
what species of fish anglers can expect to catch at the site, and (4)
what other facilities are available at or near the site.
Background
One of the most difficult issues to be overcome by a disabled or
senior angler is finding suitable venues to fish. The Barrier Free
Access to Sportfishing Program was developed to provide
recreational angling opportunities to physically challenged and
senior anglers of the province through the construction of piers,
ramps, platforms and other infrastructure directed towards
facilitating this activity.
Additionally, the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and
Aquaculture is pleased to provide handicapped anglers of the
province with general fishing licenses, free of charge. For more
information about handicapped licenses, contact your local office of
the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources.
Within the Halifax Regional Municipality, Callow Wheelchair
Busses is a non-profit organization which provides recreational
outings, in an effort to promote a better quality of life for physically,
mentally and visually challenged individuals. They can be contacted
at (902) 422-9433.

Barrier Free SportfishingOpportunities in Nova Scotia
The sites highlighted in this brochure were constructed with
funding from the Cooperation Agreement on Economic
Diversification - Barrier Free Access to Sportfishing Program and are
designed to provide a safe yet enjoyable angling experience for
physically challenged and senior anglers of the province.
Additionally, there are other locations throughout the province
that, although they do not have barrier free structures, can still
provide gratifying angling experiences provided safety is kept in
mind.
The Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture website
provides additional information and detailed instructions on how to
get to many of these Barrier Free sites.
