STOCKHOLM - This spring, the Valley View Wildlife Federation provided every student from Kindergarten to Grade 9 in both Macdonald School and Grayson School their very own fishing rod.
As well, students that are home-schooled in Stockholm and Dubuc also received fishing rods.
On top of that, the organization is also giving a fishing rod to all of their youth members that are between Kindergarten to Grade 9.
In total, 200 fishing rods have been handed out.
Valley View hopes that by giving each student a fishing rod, it will spark their interest in the outdoors, and conservation, noted a release. The branch goal for 2023 is to get as many youth as possible active, and interested in the outdoors.
Established in 1980, the Valley View Wildlife Federation is a branch of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, and are involved in community based environmental and conservation programs and projects in Stockholm, and surrounding area.
