The Canadian Ice Fishing Championship is a two-day annual event held on Lake Simcoe, in Ontario, Canada. It was created in 1994, two years after the World Ice Fishing Championship was held in Georgina, Ontario. The "Catch - Photograph - Release" ice fishing tournament attracts anglers, mainly from Canada and the USA, but sometimes from other countries, who bring their ice fishing skills to this large, shallow lake. The first day is 'Big Fish Day', when anglers fish the deep water to try to catch the biggest fish. Scrutineers measure the length and width of each fish caught, and points are awarded for the fish each team submits to the judges. The second day is 'Perch Day', when anglers try to catch the heaviest and most perch. Perch caught are weighed in, and returned to the lake.

Andrew Dyas MacLean was a Canadian naval officer, journalist, and publisher. His role in a controversy over Canadian naval operations in 1943, near the height of the Battle of the Atlantic, continues to be debated by Canadian naval historians. In 1943 MacLean's criticisms of the leadership of the Royal Canadian Navy, based on his personal experience and published in one of his magazines, led to questions in the House of Commons about the management of naval operations. Further investigations later that year eroded beyond repair the naval minister's confidence in Vice-Admiral Percy Nelles, until then chief of the Canadian naval staff, and Nelles was replaced early in 1944.
