The Airdrie Hunting & Fishing Association is hosting a free Family Day ice fishing event in the Chain Lakes area of Alberta, Canada to help young families get outdoors and embrace the winter rather than avoid it.
All you have to do is show up with your own fishing gear, with fishing holes drilled in the ice for you so you're ready to go.
This ice fishing event is a great way for young families to enjoy fishing for free. With many millennial and young families facing a financial crunch given the economic downturn and difficult job market, activities like this ice fishing event are perfect because they allow families to spend time together and bond whilst engaging with nature, and without having to shell out too much money.
