Two parents whose son’s life came to an early and unfortunate end remember him each year by giving youth the joy of fishing.

On July 30, two dozen children, most from the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program, took a few hours to cast from the shores of Echo Lake, about an hour east of Regina. It was all part of the third annual “Wishin’ I was Fishin’” event, put on by David and Sara Gillis and volunteers.
