Toronto, Ontario, November 2, 2010: The pages of Outdoor Canada magazine come to life November 26-28, 2010, at the International Centre, 6900 Airport Road, Mississauga during the first-ever Outdoor Canada Show.
Geared towards anglers, hunters and outdoor lovers, the show features everything you need for outdoor adventure, from lodges, outfitters and apparel to gear, electronics and more.
“We’re really pleased the event is receiving such great support from the outdoor community,” says Patrick Walsh, editor of Outdoor Canada magazine. “For anyone who loves Canada’s wildlife and wild places, this is the show for you.”
Among the many highlights, Canada’s top TV fishing celebrities will be on hand for the Fishin’ for Answers Quiz Show on Saturday, November 27 at 1:00 p.m. Expect plenty of fun as Bob Izumi, Angelo Viola, Pete Bowman, Mike Miller,
Leo Stakos, Dave Mercer and Ron James, along with U.S. legends Roland Martin and Jimmy Houston, match angling wits. And after the Quiz Show, fans will have the chance to rub shoulders with their favourite TV stars at the Outdoor Canada Lodge.
Throughout the three-day event, the Outdoor Canada Lodge will be the social hub, featuring filleting demos, sampling of wild game, shore-lunch tips, fly-tying lessons and antique decoy appraisals with expert Steven Lloyd. And on Saturday, November 27, Fish ’n Canada’s Angelo Viola will present his Outdoor Journal radio program live on the Fan 590 from 10 a.m. to noon. And on Sunday, November 28, anglers can test the strength of their fishing knots with the Berkley Knot Testing Machine.
The Outdoor Canada Stage, meanwhile, will host an ongoing series of information-packed how-to sessions for anglers and hunters. Outdoor Canada Fishing Editor Gord Pyzer, for example, will share his expert advice on the exciting sport of ice fishing. Other sessions include: selecting and training the right field dog; hunting wild turkeys and white-tailed deer; and learning about the game-changing technology in the latest fish finders.
