Denny Leeson Fishing Derby

The Denny Leeson Memorial Urban Fishing Project was started by the Rotary Club of Hamilton Sunset over 25 years ago and has now been adopted as a project by the Hamilton AM Club. This year this "fishing derby" took place May 4 - 7, 2015, at the outdoor Parkdale Arena Pool located at 1770 Main Street East, Hamilton. Along with the fishermen volunteers and the City of Hamilton, our club provides a fun fishing experience to the greater Hamilton region’s special needs community. The derby takes place annually, in the first full week of May, from Monday to Thursday. In all, some 360 participants of all ages get their turn at holding a rod and trying to ‘catch a big one’. If you are interested in volunteering or making a donation to support this event, please contact Sandy Marincic at sandy@ubenefit.ca or at 905-536-6494.
