It was an extremely fast-paced day as action at the 2016 ASN Open Canadian Karting Championship turned official on Friday. Qualifying set the grids for each category with the top-6 after each provisional qualifying session advancing to a 2-lap solo run for SuperPole Qualifying. Immediately following, the first round of heat races were held for each of the twelve categories competing for a National Championship this weekend in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec.

- The first ever Briggs & Stratton Novice pole-sitter at the Canadian Championships is Myah Knuckle from Nova Scotia
- Kelsey Hann was the second lady to earn a Super-Pole, posting the fastest lap in Briggs & Stratton Junior
- Drivers from four different provinces topped the charts Friday; Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan, plus Georgie Zouein from Dubai.
- Two defending class champions started their weekend off by qualifying on the pole-position; Marco Di Leo in Rotax Senior and Marc Stehle in Briggs & Stratton Masters
