The derby is all day July 26th
The Paul Gill Memorial Fishing Derby is making its return to the scenic St. Lawrence River on July 26th.
Fondly remembered as “Uncle Paul,” Gill was a dedicated fisherman and a true pillar of the Brockville community.
This family-friendly event welcomes anglers of all experience levels for a day of fun, reflection, and community connection.
Organizers are inviting families to come out and enjoy park activities, friendly competition, and the chance to honour a man who made a lasting impact.
Set against the beautiful riverside, the derby is more than a fishing event — it’s a celebration of generosity, friendship, and local spirit.
Those interested in supporting the event through sponsorship can reach out to Dylan at dylan@theiropportunity.com.
Grab your tackle box, bring the whole family, and help keep Uncle Paul’s legacy alive on the water.
