The Italian Canadian HandiCapable Association (ICHA) is an organization that works closely with both physically and mentally challenged children and adults in our community.

They are pleased to announce that they are again planning to host the 8th Annual Fishing Derby which offers these wonderfully gifted people the opportunity to go fishing. The event will be supervised by local pro-fisherman in a controlled atmosphere to ensure maximum safety and fun.

The ICHA Fishing Derby will be a live release program, supported by the MNR (Ministry of Natural Resources), OFHA (Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters), The Canadian Coast Guard, Outdoor Company and Local Bait & Tackle Shops.

Also two celebrities attending the event this year are, Italo Labignan, host of the Canadian SportFishing show, and his camera crew to shoot clips of the event to be aired on TSN this coming season, and Clay Dyer. Clay Dyer was born on May 23, 1978, without legs, no arm on the left side and only a partial arm on the right. A professional angler since 1995, Clay has fished in more then 200 Bass Tournaments and placed first in 20 state bass tournaments.

A picnic is planned with entertainment provided by Music Express, Canada’s premier show-band, and prizes will be given out to all participants. Anything that you and your company could contribute to the ICHA Fishing Derby on June 13/10 would be greatly appreciated.

The Windsor Minor Hockey Association Celebrates 50 Years.

The Windsor Minor Hockey Association will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary this August 21st 2010

WMHA is in the process of gathering sponsors for their upcoming gala which boosts 700 guests. Sponsors are recognized in a program that is handed out to each guest.
It may seem like a long ways away but an event like this takes time to put together and the organization needs to know how much money they will have in their budget to plan the event.
They have sponsorships available for as low as $150, this is a great way to get your company name out there and help some youngsters play hockey here in Windsor at the same time.

Please give whatever you can for a great cause and show the community you care about the kids and want to help keep them on the ice and out of trouble.

For more information please contact WMHA President Dean Lapierre drdean@mnsi.net

Here’s to another 50 years!
