The Ottawa River at the waterfront in Pembroke.
The annual kids, cops and Canadian Tire fishing derby is set for Saturday, August 13th at the Pembroke Waterfront Park and along the shores of the Ottawa River.
The OPP will go fishing with local children from 9:00am to noon.
It’s a free event for kids under the age of 12.
Fish will be caught and released and prizes will be handed out for the largest fish in a variety of age categories.
Young anglers are asked to bring their own rods, reels, and bait as well as an adult buddy.
Registration will take place next to the playground at the Pembroke Waterfront Park on the day of the derby.
This event is sponsored by Fishing Forever and supported by the Pembroke Police Service Board, the Police Association of Ontario, Canadian Tire, and the Pembroke Mall.
