Langton, ON: Police officers from Norfolk OPP will help kids cast a line and have a whole lot of fun during the Kids, Cops and Canadian Tire Fishing Day on August 10, 2024 from 8 AM to 12 PM.
The event is hosted by Long Point Region Conservation Authority at Deer Creek Conservation Area and sponsored by organizations including the Police Association of Ontario and the Norfolk County OPP Detachment. A huge thank you goes to the many local businesses who support the Deer Creek Children’s Fishing Derby; the derby would not be possible without their contributions.
Open to youth ages 16 and under, the derby is a great way for kids and their families to form fond memories and acquire a love of fishing. Cast from shore or launch a non-motorized or electric boat and fish the farther sections of the reservoir. The cost to participate is $5 per child, plus admission to the Conservation Area. Registration is open on-site at 8 AM on the day of the event.
This event is supported by the Canadian National Sportfishing Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting and protecting recreational fishing for all Canadians, and by the generous financial contribution of Canadian Tire.
