Win gear and support conservation knowing that great fishing starts with healthy lakes and wetlands.

STONEWALL, MB, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) launches "Hooked on Habitat," a new angling sweepstakes that celebrates Canada's fishing heritage and recognizes the essential role wetlands play in supporting the places and species anglers love most. Every time we cast a line, we benefit from wetland conservation efforts that help safeguard fish habitats, access to lakes and rivers and the natural spaces we love to explore. Watch now: See wetlands at work.

Hooked on Habitat connects passion with purpose. Anglers can enter the sweepstakes to help conserve and restore the very habitats that support strong fish populations, clean waterways and vibrant recreational spaces.

Fishing is woven into Canada's cultural fabric, from its importance and significance to Indigenous communities to its place as a cherished national pastime.
