Ottawa police officers were teaching kids how to reel in fish, instead of suspects, Saturday morning at Andrew Haydon Park.
Const. Adam Elliott is a rookie patrol officer who’s only been on the job for six months but he knows fishing. Elliott, 29, has been fishing since he was two.
Elliott spent much of the morning teaching Carson McKay, 10, how to cast as part of a police-union hosted event. McKay also really liked hooking worms.
The trick to fishing well is pretty simple: “Patience, unfortunately,” Elliott said. “You’ve gotta wait for the fish, you can’t rush it.”
Carson was in no rush, opting to casually pull his line out of the water hand over hand instead of letting the rod do the work.
Carson’s grandfather is a retired police officer so the boy’s mother, Robbyn Plumb, thought it would be a good idea to get him out to do some fishing and meet other police officers.
Carson tried fishing for the first time earlier this summer and “he loved it,” Plumb said.
McKay has a global developmental disability and is nonverbal. His mother never imagined that he’d be able to play hockey like she had growing up. Through an organization called the Special Hockey Heroes Association, that often partners with the police union, Carson has been able to play and, now, fish, too.
Ottawa Police Association director Pam Twining said it’s important for kids to know they can interact with officers in the community. Twining also said the event was able to get kids out to fish who may not have otherwise had the opportunity.
The police force’s baseball team also played a game Saturday morning in Navan against the Miracle League of Ottawa, made up of children with mental and physical disabilities who want to play baseball.
