The 2nd Annual Paul Gill Memorial Fishing Derby is set for Saturday, July 26 at Hardy Park, bringing the community together to celebrate the life and legacy of one of Brockville’s most beloved figures.

Paul Gill, known for his love of fishing and generous spirit, left a lasting mark on the area. 2 of his 4 sons, Ryan and Rob Gill, say the derby is the perfect way to honour their father’s memory

The event will feature exciting prizes, including a premium YETI pack! There is also a special community award available that goes beyond fishing.

The schedule is confirmed! There are definitely some times people should be aware of.

The derby isn’t just about catching the biggest fish. It’s about turning off screens, making memories, and building stronger community ties.
