The inaugural Keep Canada Fishing Dinner and Auction, took place Thursday, March 19, 2026 at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, raising an impressive $70,000 to support programs that promote and protect recreational fishing across Canada.

The Honorable Mike Harris, Minister of Natural Resources in Ontario, presented the first-ever Keep Canada Fishing Award to Sgt. Mike Driscoll of the Gananoque Police Service for his work in organizing a very successful grassroots Kids and Cops fishing event in his home region.
