In Quebec, city people can take part in Fishing Fest. In Montreal's Rapids Park, we have organized fishing days. Everyone received a fishing rod so that they could go fishing. The water had been stocked with fish. Fishing licences were not necessary on that day. The event was so popular that it is now held over three days. People also get the information they need. With the government's help, we have even translated the principal hunting and fishing regulations into several languages so that people who do not speak French or English can do the activities without running the risk of being charged or prosecuted because they are not familiar with the law.
To those activities, we add retriever dog demonstrations, bowhunting, modern trapping methods and the new kinds of traps in use. We also wanted to show people that an old fur or animal-skin coat left in the woods would disappear in a few months, whereas a coat made of synthetic material, nylon, for example, would still be there 40, 50 or 100 years later.
