The Kilt and Clover is a restaurant and bar located at 17 Lock Street in Port Dalhousie, Ontario, a district within the City of St. Catharines, Ontario on the shores of Lake Ontario. It is known for its annual frozen chicken chucking competition. The act of chicken chucking consists of pitching or sliding frozen chickens along the ice-covered Martindale Pond similar to curling and shuffleboard.[1]
Every January, the Kilt and Clover hosts the International Chicken Chucking Championships.[2] The contest is a community event that fundraises for local charities including the community food bank. In 2009, the 9th annual Chicken Chucking with 38 teams raised over $2000.00 for charity.[1] In past years, teams have come as far away as the United States and Europe. The 2010 event was followed with over $2,100.00 being raised for Hospice Niagara.[3] That same year, the frozen chickens were used as dog food after the competition.[1] As of 2019, the chickens were given away as tiger food.[4]
The event has been criticized by At War For Animals, which is a local animal rights group. In 2020, phone calls and social media outreach were used by the group with the aim of preventing the event.[5]
