The Family Fishing Derby has grown from a small get-together to a family event attracting people from Cranbrook, Creston, Fernie, Golden, Invermere, Jaffray, Kimberley and Trail. This year’s sixth Annual Family Fishing Derby is scheduled for the BC Family Day weekend on February 9, 2015.

The Alberta Family Day weekend — this year February 14, 15, 16 — is always a busy one in Kimberley as our neighbours from across the Rockies take to the slopes at Kimberley Alpine Resort. A couple of years ago, staff at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre realized that with that many visitors in town, it might be a very good opportunity to showcase local businesses and vendors, as well as the conference centre itself. Thus, the Kimberley Winter Market was born.
For its third rendition on Sunday, February 15, the market will present a variety of offerings from local merchants and some from further afield. “We are already over 50 per cent full,” said Meta Yee-Lim from the Conference Centre. “The deadline for exhibit applications is February 2 and we may be full before then.” Admission to the Market is free and there’s even a room for the kids so you can shop as long as you like. “With 60 vendors there is a lot for everybody,” Yee-Lim said. “Last year over a thousand people came through.”

the Kimberley Conference Centre will host the third annual Winter Market on February 15. Vendor application forms are available at meetkimberley.ca
The Market opens at noon and runs to 5 p.m. on Sunday, February 15.
The annual Family Fishing Derby at Horseshoe Lake has grown a great deal in the past five years, so much so that organization of the event has been passed over to JCI Kootenay (Junior Chamber International). JCI member and 2015 Family Fishing Derby Event Chair Mike Matejka explains: “JCI Kootenay is always looking for ways to make a difference in our community and when we heard the Fishing Derby needed help we jumped at the opportunity. The past organizers created something truly amazing and we want to do our best to
continue that legacy.” “Over the years, this event has grown and evolved, so after five years it is being passed to JCI,” said Jenny Byford, who is helping with organization. “It began at a grassroots level with one Cranbrook family who were touched by cancer and wanted to make a difference. But it’s grown so big that it can’t continue to be organized as it was, so it was passed to JCI. But it will continue to be a family event, focused on fund raising to support families with children with cancer.” Proceeds are distributed by the Canadian Cancer Society to help families with financial support, travelling to treatment, accommodation, wigs, cancer information and peer support.
