Our Goal
This program provides basic fly-fishing, fly casting and fly-tying classes and clinics for wounded and injured personnel ranging from beginners to those with prior fly-fishing and tying skills who are adapting their skills to their new abilities. All activities and services are provided to the participants at no cost.Heroes Mending on the Fly Canada (HMFC) is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly-tying, fly-fishing and associated activities including education and outings. We are serving military personnel who have been wounded, injured or disabled, to aid their physical and emotional recovery by introducing or rebuilding the skills of fly-fishing and fly-tying and by using and enjoying these skills on fishing outings and as lifelong recreation.
Our work with the participants is done on an outpatient basis, so the program will use existing clubs, organizations and individuals in areas that have veterans who need what is offered through our programs.
While emphasis is put on providing these activities to existing and retired members of the Canadian military, participants from other organizations such as the RCMP, other Canadian Police Members, fire fighters and EMS personnel, who had previous military service with the regular or reserve forces, they will be included in the activities promoted by Heroes Mending on the Fly Canada.
We are 100% Canadian and have support groups in many provinces.
