The Fishing for Kids Tournament has now generated over $5.8 million for BC children’s charities since its inaugural tournament in 2006.

Fifteen-year-old Chris was diagnosed with autism at a young age and although his language is limited he enjoys taking part in CAN’s variety of sports and social programmes. Chris has an exceptional memory and loves to be by the water so the opportunity to experience the tournament has meant a lot to Chris and his family.The Fishing for Kids Tournament has come to be recognized as the premier fishing tournament in the Pacific Northwest and is made possible thanks to the generous support of its sponsors, including Macquarie, The West Coast Fishing Club, Vancouver Canucks, Ledcor Group of Companies, Delta Group, Helijet, Aria Resort & Casino, The Province and Vancouver Sun, Delta Bridgemans Services and Ruskin Construction.
