Hi Ron,
I found your picture of a youth fishing the Toronto Islands and was hoping I could use it…long story short I sit on a committee whose objective is to promote fishing in urban areas (its also my job) and this committee will have a booth at the sportsmen’s show next week. With your permission I’d like to add that photo to a slide presentation showing people fishing around the City. If you have any questions please contact me at the numbers below.
Thanks
