Cory’s Lil Anglers is a registered non-profit youth fishing organization, founded in 2023 in memory of Cory Boudreau.
Cory is a beloved local fishing expert who believed deeply in the joy and healing power of recreational fishing. He dedicated much of his time to introducing children to fishing, often providing gear and support to families in need.
After Cory’s passing in 2022 following his battle with mental illness, his friends and community came together to continue his legacy through this program.
Since its launch, Cory’s Lil Anglers has introduced over 2,000 children and families to the sport of fishing across the Halifax Regional Municipality, offering free opportunities to learn, connect with nature, and build lifelong memories.
To help fund these programs and continue Cory’s mission, they host the Cory Boudreau Memorial Striper Cup
