When I was a little girl, I dreamed of hoisting the Stanley Cup over my shoulders. Skating around the community rink—the kind without boards that was flooded with hose water by the neighbourhood dads—pretending that I was in the NHL.
Did I play hockey? No. Truth is, I didn’t even own hockey skates. All of those Stanley Cups I “won” were on figure skates, with a broom as my stick and a chunk of ice as my puck.
There is something innately baked into Canadians and our love for hockey. Keep reading to see how a nationwide hockey tournament has contributed more than $28 million to over 60 charities across Canada.

It is the beginning of the second day. Cyclists, Martine and Liz, are meeting for the first time on a bus shuttling them to the start of their 100 km plus ride.

Hosted by Carey Management and in honour of the late Larry Carey, founder of Wallace and Carey, this annual golf tournament brings together members of the Calgary community for a fun day of golf, food and drinks, all in the name of raising money for charity!
Think 130 golfers, over 60 dedicated volunteers, and (despite our record hot summer every other day), a freezing cold rainy morning topped with nostalgia and enthusiasm for a great cause.
This year for their 26th annual event they went above and beyond their fundraising goal of $25 000 (they raised $35 000) and had a great time doing it! Each hole had a unique 70’s theme (think Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Disco) and tons of food and prizes.
