Canadian Ultimate players donate warm clothing and
money from Indoor Tournaments
During November and December, 2004, Winnipeg,
Regina
and Montreal
held Indoor tournaments that collected many boxes of warm clothing
and some money that has been donated to three local Habitat for
Humanity chapters as well as the Salvation
Army in Regina, Operation
GO Home in Winnipeg, and Dans
la rue in Montreal. Ultimate players in Toronto, held an outdoor
tournament and donated warm clothing to Toronto's Street
Haven.
Many thanks to Camilo Rostoker in Regina, Angela
Hilland in Winnipeg, Alison and Shiellah in Montreal, and John Harris
in Toronto for their support in this initiative that encourages
Canadian cities to host a "Forcing Home" Ultimate tournament
in the early part of the winter in the spirit of reaching out to
those who struggle not to live on the street.
For the weekend of November 21st and 22nd in 2004
it would be great if more cities in Canada would like to hold similar
Indoor tournaments to create a chain of these tournaments across
the country on an annual basis!
