Pickering: recurring program, not guessed dates
Pickering’s official page was last updated August 24, 2026. It confirms weekly tournaments, registration through the first break, an alternate list beginning at 10:30 a.m., traditional and Deep Stack starting-chip amounts, and re-entry rules. The accessible page does not currently publish a clean list of future dates and buy-ins, so we leave those fields blank rather than guessing.

Casino Niagara: currently published dates
Casino Niagara is easier to plan from right now because its venue pages publish specific September and October events. All listed fees are in Canadian dollars. The venue requires players to be 19+ and to meet its identification and Momentum-card rules.
