Organizers are preparing for Chapleau's 24th annual derby - by launching a couple contests while taking registration online.
While tickets are sold out for the Rotary Club of Chapleau's Chapleau Pike Ice Fishing Derby, Jocelynne Bernier explains COVID-19 restrictions have forced organizers to "get creative", leading to virtual registration for the roughly 800 entrants.
Bernier adds a couple competitions have been launched, to help celebrate 25 years of the derby next year.
Both contests run until Friday, February 11th, the day before the 24th annual Chapleau Pike Ice Fishing Derby.
To enter the contests or for virtual registration, simply email chapleauderbyregistration@hotmail.com
