Our purpose
Bringing families together through fishing and giving back
What started as a small local gathering has grown into a family-friendly ice-fishing derby, raising more than $485,000 for children’s health charities.
Every winter, hundreds of families join us to laugh, learn, fish, and make a difference — together.
Our tradition
Manitoba’s most exciting family ice fishing event
Anglers of all ages and skill levels — individuals, groups, and families — come together each winter for a day of fishing, fun, and community spirit.
KidFish isn’t just a competition — it’s a celebration of the outdoors and the generosity of Manitobans.
From the early morning excitement to prize draws, games, and shared laughter, every moment brings people together for one purpose:
helping kids in need.
Community champions
Proudly supported by our amazing partners
KidFish is made possible thanks to the generosity of local businesses, sponsors, and community partners who share our passion for helping kids.
From prize donations to event support, every partner plays a vital role in creating a fun, family-friendly experience that gives back to children’s health charities in Manitoba.
Together, we’re proving that when the community comes together — everyone wins.
