Hockey players wearing the colours maroon, gold, and
white will be knocking door to door canvasing several neighbourhoods on
Wednesday October 31st. However they will not be wearing costumes,
instead they will be clad in their hockey jersey's, and they won't be
asking for candy, instead they will be asking for non perishable food
items. Students from the Ontario Hockey Academy, including Catherine
Tufts and Brooklyn Kallusky pictured above, will be collecting food for
the Agape Food Bank this Halloween. Teams will be visiting several
different neighbourhoods including Riverdale, Center town, around Home
Depot, Sunrise Acres, and around Vincent Massey.
"The
Agape Center plays such an important role in providing support in the
Cornwall community. We are truly happy that we can play a role in
ensuring the center is able to continue to meet our city’s needs", says
Principal Josh Harrison. Student Athletes engaged in this food
collecting activity will have the opportunity to volunteer and learn
more about civic responsibility. The Agape Centre relies 100% on the
donations of time, food, money, clothing, and other household items from
the community to help families that access the services. The Ontario
Hockey Academy is pleased to go door to door this Halloween to collect
food for such an important charity in our community.
