A Letter FROM OUR PRESIDENTDear Len Thompson Friends:
To say that 2020 so far has been a challenge may be the understatement of the decade, if not the century. Covid 19 has indiscriminately taken many lives and left countless numbers of sick people in its path. While the health concerns of the virus are tragically real for many; the level of fear, uncertainty, mental health implications and economics impact nearly every person in the world. Our area of Central Alberta (and many other rural areas in Canada) have thus far avoided the brunt of the health crisis associated with the virus, of which we are very thankful. However, much like the virus, the economic impacts of COVID19 has no boundaries. People across the country are struggling, and pressure on food banks have never been higher. |
LIMITED EDITION Series - #fishingforfoodbanks2020
|
Fishing intimately connects you with the outdoors either as a solo activity, or with your closest friends or family. It really does help to heal your mind, body and soul. That is why we strongly believe that fishing and the outdoors will be a popular healing activity for many people this season.
As a company, we wanted to do something special during these turbulent times.
We have launched six new special, limited edition lures that are now available for purchase. We believe these unique -- yet proven colours -- will not only help anglers realize a more successful day on the water, but it will help smaller communities across the prairies.
We will be donating 50% of every #fishingforfoodbanks2020 lure sold to smaller community food banks. Additionally, we have several other products that will be part of the campaign. Together, we can make a difference.
