About EduCast
Established in 2002 by Steve Voros and Darren Jacko, EduCast was originally designed for East Elgin Secondary School students. The competition has grown into a province-wide tradition, now welcoming participants from more than 100 high schools across Ontario.
The tournament takes place at Pleasant Valley Trout Farm in Sparta, Ontario, operated by Bob Bishop. The facility encompasses a 50-acre property featuring multiple stocked ponds with depths reaching 18 feet.
Currently coordinated by East Elgin Secondary School staff members Tim Bubb-Clarke and Katherine Russell.
