Macklin Wildlife Federation Presented with 2015 National Recreational Fisheries Award
(firmenpresse) - MACKLIN, SASKATCHEWAN -- (Marketwired) -- 08/31/16 -- The Government of Canada is recognizing the Macklin Wildlife Federation for its many contributions to the enhancement of fisheries habitat since its inception in the early 1980s.
On behalf of the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, Dale Nicholson, Regional Director, Ecosystems Management, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, presented the Macklin Wildlife Federation with the Department''s National Recreational Fisheries Award.
Highlights of the Federation''s history include the construction of two trout ponds and the creation of a recreational fishery in Macklin Lake. Their contributions and efforts have provided new and diverse angling opportunities in West-Central Saskatchewan-an impressive accomplishment as Macklin is a semi-arid region with few natural lakes that are too shallow to support recreational fisheries.
