Kids Catch Fish with Cops in Gananoque
Gananoque, ON: Excitement is building for the 1st Inaugural Catching Fish with Cops event, set for Sunday August 13th in Gananoque.
Organized by the members of the Gananoque Police Service, the free event will take place from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon at the Gananoque Waterfront at Joel Stone Park. The young anglers can look forward to giveaways and a BBQ lunch with drinks following the fishing derby. In addition to other festivities, the Gananoque Vintage Boat museum will be providing boat rides to young anglers in a vintage tugboat.
Catching Fish with Cops is sponsored by the Canadian National Sportfishing Foundation’s Kids and Cops Fishing Days, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting and protecting recreational fishing. It is also supported by, the Gananoque Fire Department, the Police Association of Ontario, The Town of Gananoque, the Gananoque Police Association and Canadian Tire. A special thank you this year to Baldree’s No Frills for their sponsorship.
Kids and Cops Fishing Days was created by fishing celebrity Bob Izumi who 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 best ways for parents and other adults to establish productive and healthy relationships with children.”
