Family Day and Anyday Winter Fun in Sudbury

Go Fishing

With 330 lakes in Greater Sudbury the options to find a great fishing hole are endless. Family Day weekend is one of only two weekends a year when Ontario residents can legally fish anywhere in the province without a valid license. Get out and try ice fishing this winter.
