Hockey: Canadian Thing and Sponsors Refugees

hockey: The Breakaway Street Hockey Classic is put on in support of Hospitality House Refugee Ministry, an organization that privately sponsors refugees, according to CTV. Which is another very Canadian thing to do to accept people coming from other countries, Gibson added. We ve come together to play street hockey, which is a very Canadian thing to do, said Dom Gibson, organizer for the hockey tournament that took place at Grant Memorial Church on Saturday. He hopes the tournament will raise 6,000 for the organization. We feel that as Canadians who value multiculturalism, who value those who are in need, we want to support however we can, he said. While a light was shed on the refugee crisis a year ago, Gibson said there are still hundreds of thousands of people who are displaced due to war and persecution. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
