Another Successful Year at Minto Ice Fishing

April 25, 2019

This was the second year that JDI sponsored the Minto Tri-Lakes Ice Fishing Tournament. With a 50% increase in participants and so many smiling faces, it's safe to say it was a success.

JDI provided the registration prize again this year, and was happy to present it to Scott Barton, pictured below.

It’s great having the opportunity to support the local communities where we work. We met folks from many NB communities, including JDI employees and families, that all came to enjoy the fun of ice fishing at Grand Lake," said Robert Fawcett, Director of Corporate Relations.

Minto is the host of the Tri-Lake Tournament which is three days of fishing over the winter, as well as the Family Day Fishing Tournament, which also had a JDI sponsored registration prize.

“These events draw people into the Village from all parts of the province and beyond," says Reg Barton, Deputy Mayor and Councillor Liaison for Recreation Development in the Village of Minto." Since partnering with Robert Fawcett and the JDI team on our Family Day Ice Fishing Tournament we have seen the success of this event increase exponentially. The participants are flocking in. From the generous prize donations, number of volunteer hours to helping with marketing and advertising. When they say “JDI Helps” they really mean it. Thanks JDI for helping the Village of Minto put this event on the map.”
