An unseasonably warm February has forced event organizers to make alternate plans. Due to ice conditions and out of an abundance of caution, the KidFish Ice Derby is moving off the ice.

The event planned for Sunday, February 18 from 12 pm – 2 pm will be held at the Selkirk Rec Centre, 180 Easton Dr Selkirk, MB. All tickets purchased will be honoured and a range of activities and raffles will still move forward.

Everyone who has purchased tickets will be eligible for the draws of top 10 fishing prizes and top five kid prizes, including the grand prize of $5,000. There will be many extra prize draws as well. Those with kids’ tickets must attend to receive their free rods and reels, but ticket holders do not need to be in attendance to win draw prizes.

Activities will include kids’ games and pork on a bun from Danny’s Whole Hog.

Prize tickets will be available online or at the door. Tickets purchased online will be available at the door for pick up. Online sales close Saturday, February 17 at 12 pm.

All money raised will be donated to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation and Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.
