about the st. mary's river associationIn the late 1970's a few anglers who were interested in the conservation & betterment of the Nova Scotia's St. Mary's River started an informal committee. Membership quickly grew from the few individuals to a few hundred, and the committee was formally incorporated under the Societies Act on November 9, 1979, as the St. Mary's River Association (SMRA).
