WhatWhatCreate a friendly Town vs Town competition that wraps up on Family Fishing Weekend – February 18-20, 2012.
The Mayor (or Reeve) teams up with a member of their fire department.
Each team is ice-fishing within their own municipality.
Fishing will be observed and scored by a representative of CPR.
Scores will be collected from all teams across Ontario.
The winning team is invited to receive the Grand Prize Argo at a special presentation hosted by Fish TV during the 2012 Toronto Sportsmen’s Show.

WhyWhyCreate a Special Event that is Town oriented and that would attract participants, spectators and media with ‘reach’ – local, regional, national.
Make the Special Event a catalyst to draw out more visitors and to generate civic pride.
Identify Towns that can offer ice fishing and build it as part of their recreational fishing opportunity – 12 months of the year.

Ice Fishing is an easy connection with the public
Ice Fishing is an easy connection with the public
Hosting a local Family Fishing Weekend event to invite residents and visitors out to fish along with the Mayor and Firefighter is encouraged.
Any resident of Canada can fish on this weekend without having to purchase a licence – normally a minimum of $12 per person.
The winter exemption has been in place since 2007 and towns are now taking advantage to create visitor traffic and interest in the outdoors.
