S. A. F. E
Sponsor A Fishing Experience
In 2019 we were very fortunate to work with Advanced Marine Lake Belwood who aligned with our values and vision of getting all people on the water and sponsored Fishing Friendzy with an Alumacraft boat. We wanted to include as many kids as we could. Our program allows businesses and individuals to sponsor a fishing excursion. I personally take out the selected guests. This is where we are able to give back to our community. It gives an opportunity to underprivileged children, people with disabilities, as well as war veterans to come enjoy themselves on the water and connect to nature. Some real life natural therapy for those who need it the most. We have had the privilege of working with Big Brothers & Big Sisters and The Royal Canadian Legion.
Our Fishing Excursions
MASON
Sponsored by Advanced Marine Lake Belwood.
Our first trip out we took our good friend Mason. I met Mason 9 years ago a the CNE and he came five days in a row just to fish in our pond. I sat with him for hours fishing and we instantly created a life long friendship. Mason has spina bifida and was told her would never be able to walk. He also has a difficult time communicating because he can't speak, except he's learnt how to say "Mikey". He also drools from his mouth sometimes but we're not sure if that is from his condition or because he's 19 and loves flirting with cute girls. Lol. One thing about Mason that is much different from most people is that he has a magnetic energy that is full of joy and happiness. It's contagious being around him.He makes you laugh and he justLOVES to fish. Mason has the record for catching the most fish by far at the Fishing Friendzy traveling exhibit. He's not only caught the most fish but he often hands his catch over to young kids who may have never caught a fish in their lives. Mason brings out the best in people with his fun loving attitude and love for life. We couldn't think of anyone more deserving than Mason to join Mikey on the first S.A.F.E program outing.
