ANOTHER GREAT KIDS’ FISH DERBY: White Lake Provincial Park July 13th
WHITE LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK, ON – Children are getting their fishing gear ready for the Kids Fishing Derby this Saturday, July 13th. Last weekend’s derby at Rainbow Falls was incredibly successful and it is expected that Saturday’s will be equally enjoyable (CLICK HERE for photos, video and full results from the Rainbow Falls derby last weekend).
The event takes place from 10am to 4pm at White Lake Provincial Park. Fishing ends at 2pm followed by a fishing seminar with special guest Gord Ellis from 3pm to 4pm. The event is free, however participants must pay for a day entry to the park at ($10.75 taxes incl.).
Though there will be some PFDs on hand for kids to borrow, participants are asked to bring their own PFDs and bait if possible. There will also be a free barbeque lunch for the participants. This is a catch and release event, and everyone will receive a prize. Parents can look forward to a raffle including a gift certificate from D&R Sporting Goods in Thunder Bay.
This event is part of the Canada-wide celebration, National Fishing Week, and the annual Ontario Family Fishing Week both are from July 6 through 14 when Canadian residents can enjoy the fun of fishing in Ontario without the need of a licence!
The derby is sponsored by Fishing Forever, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to funding worthwhile fishing, conservation and education projects. Fishing Forever chair Bob Izumi is an avid supporter of recreational fishing for both the young and the young at heart. “I love to create opportunities for children and families to go fishing,” states Izumi. “Fishing is one of the very best ways for parents and other adults to establish productive and healthy relationships with children.”
