Vancouver Community College - Lew Bloomingdale Classic Fishing Derby About The Fishing Derby
Annually, the VCC Collision & Refinishing-Prep Department, organizes a fishing derby to thank the collision repair and refinishing industries for their continued support of our programs.  The derby was started by and is named in honour of Lew Bloomingdale

.

At the derby, industry is well represented in an atmosphere conducive to meeting people, expressing ideas, and just plain having fun. Everybody is well fed and accommodations are always superb.

Roche Lake Resort, B.C.Funds raised through this derby benefit the VCC Collision & Refinishing programs. The funds are used for tool upgrades and necessary teaching equipment that ensure a progressive growth of our centre of excellence.  A portion of the funds raised also goes towards the Lew Bloomingdale Scholarship Awards. The end benefactors are apprentices, journey persons, and entry level personnel.
 

The Success of each derby is greatly due to the generous sponsors of the event. As with any fishing derby, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes are awarded for fish caught. Also, door prizes are given away throughout the derby weekend. Everyone wins!

This popular event sells out fast, so don't hesitate, sign up for the next derby today. You won't be disappointed!
