🔸Today, September 30, we honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors, their families and communities, and those who continue to carry the impacts of residential schools.

🔸Truth and Reconciliation asks all of us to listen, learn, remember, and take action. Reconciliation is not just about acknowledging the past. It is an ongoing responsibility to understand the truth of what happened and to work toward a future where Indigenous children and youth feel safe, respected, supported, and valued.

🧡 Pictured are our girls at LaurenHill in Montreal, wearing their orange jerseys last season. The Orange Jersey Project uses the power of sport to strengthen the path toward Truth and Reconciliation.

🔶🔸At Hockey 4 Youth, we believe that every young person deserves a chance to play, connect and belong.🔸🔶

Today, we pause, we listen, and we remember. 🧡

🥇Thank You to Our Gold Sponsor, the Senators Community Foundation Senators Community Foundation ❤️

The Ottawa Senators Community Foundation has been a valued partner of Hockey 4 Youth for many years. Over time, we have developed a wonderful relationship with Jennifer Cameron, Director of Events and Fundraising for the Foundation, whose support and commitment have helped create meaningful opportunities for our participants.

Jennifer joined us at The Big Gathering in Ottawa and spoke on our “My Life in Hockey” panel alongside other members of the hockey community. She shared her career journey, spoke about her role with the Foundation, and offered insights into the many opportunities available within the sport. The girls were incredibly engaged and eager to learn about the different career paths in hockey, asking thoughtful questions and showing great interest in Jennifer’s experience. ❤️

The Senators Community Foundation also supported a yoga session with 24Hr Yogapalooza , featuring a special guest appearance. 🫣🧘🏻‍♀️

Participants enjoyed an introduction to yoga before being surprised by the beloved mascot Spartacat who joined in the fun and brought plenty of energy and excitement to the session. ❤️

In addition, the Foundation generously donated some signed Senators hats for participants, volunteers, and guest speakers. The hats were a huge hit and added an extra special touch to the event. 🧢❤️

We are deeply grateful to the Senators Community Foundation for their continued support, partnership, and commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for young people. Their contributions helped make The Big Gathering an unforgettable experience for newcomer and barriered girls from our programs across the country.

❤️We are proud to have the Senators Community Foundation as part of the Hockey 4 Youth community and look forward to continuing this valued partnership.❤️

🥇Thank you to our Gold Sponsor, The Hudson Sullivan Foundation The Hudson Sullivan Foundation 💙

Founded in 2025, The Hudson Sullivan Foundation was established by Katie Sullivan to honour the legacy of her husband, Hudson Alexander Sullivan. 💙

The Big Gathering was a tremendous success thanks to the support of The Hudson Sullivan Foundation. Katie and her son, Wyatt, joined us in Ottawa for an exciting first day, met our newcomer and barriered girls from across the country and helped kick off an incredible 5 day event. 💙🎤

Katie shared her story with the girls, spoke about resilience, navigating hardship, and embracing life’s nonlinear path. Her message resonated deeply with participants, who were fully engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and gained valuable insights from her experiences. 💙

Wyatt quickly became everyone’s favourite. His energy, enthusiasm, and ability to bring a smile to everyone’s face made a lasting impression and made everyone’s experience a million times better. 💙

We are incredibly grateful to The Hudson Sullivan Foundation for their generosity and partnership. Their support helped make The Big Gathering possible and created meaningful opportunities for girls from across Canada to learn, connect, and grow. 💙

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping create an unforgettable experience for the next generation.

We are proud to have you as part of the Hockey 4 Youth community. 💙
