Checking In: Learn to Fish

For the seventh consecutive year, Highland Valley Copper (HVC) partnered with the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC to host their Learn to Fish Program for employees’ children and grandchildren. 

The educational initiative, which this year was held in partnership with the District of Logan Lake, aims to introduce youth to recreational fishing through a half-day course. 

Children learned about fish identification and biology, habitat and conservation, knot tying, proper fish-handling techniques, casting, retrieving, and the basics of how, when and where to catch fish in fresh water.

In addition to hosting the program for employees, in recent years HVC has extended the opportunity to participate to local community youth, as well as supporting more than 100 Learn to Fish programs throughout B.C.’s Interior, offered through provincial parks, regional school districts, and the Girl Guides and Scouts of Canada.
