REALTOR® Bob Goodfellow, an avid life-long angler, has found a way to share his passion while helping youth who are at risk in the community. “Reel Solutions for Youth” is a program co-founded by Goodfellow, which is now available to children province-wide.
Twenty-five students from Centennial School in Lac du Bonnet were treated to a four hour fishing event in June of 2010. Children received instruction on proper fishing techniques and were rewarded at the end of the day with their own fishing gear – made possible by Cabela’s Outfitters in Winnipeg and through a grant by the Fisheries Enhancement Fund.
