Big Night Out with the Vancouver Giants
Celebrate the Vancouver Giants’ 15th season with the “Big Night with the Vancouver Giants”-
On Saturday Oct. 17, come enjoy a very Canadian tradition of community festivities and support through our national game at the “Big Night with the Vancouver Giants” celebration.
In partnership with the Hastings Sunrise CPC, this popular annual event will be held prior to the Vancouver Giants game as they take on the Red Deer Rebels at the Pacific Coliseum. For a discounted ticket price of $20, fans can enjoy a community skate, food, games, a pre-game celebration and, of course, the hockey game itself. Proceeds will benefit safety and out-of-school programs in the community.
For 15 years, Vancouver Giants hockey has been a staple of the Hastings Sunrise community and Lower Mainland, showcasing the very best in junior hockey.
While the Giants have achieved much success in their short time as a franchise, winning the 2006 WHL Championships and the 2007 Memorial Cup, the organization has also succeeded outside of the rink, most notably in the community it calls “Home”. Through its “Giant Heart” community fundraising and support initiative, the Vancouver Giants organization is involved in various fundraisers to support minor hockey, and is also an active participant in the BMO Read to Succeed Literacy Initiative, promoting the importance of reading and physical fitness.
Last season the Giants won an exciting 3-2 overtime victory at home against the Rebels. Don’t miss this year’s sequel!
“Big Night” is brought to you by the Giants, the Hastings Sunrise Community Policing Centre (HSCPC), the Hastings North Business Improvement Association (HNBIA), Hastings East Community Programs Society, and the Templeton Community School Team. ■ Lishan Sharples

The Hastings Sunrise CPC is a great place to volunteer – but there are many other worthwhile opportunities available.
The YWCA Metro Vancouver invites applications to become a youth education mentor. Through its afterschool programs you can boost self-esteem and confidence among Grade 7 girls and boys, giving them the tools to achieve a smooth transition to high school.
Mentor teams consist of two university or college students (facilitators), one high school student mentor, and one “Wisdom Champion” – a man or woman with life experience.
The programs rotate through schools in Vancouver and Surrey. Starting in mid-February, the program moves into Hasting Sunrise for a Spring session at Sir Matthew Begbie Elementary School, 1430 Lillooet St.
Programs run once a week for eight weeks. Visit the YWCA website at ywcavan.org, apply online and/or contact Sam Ramos at 604-895-5779 or [email protected].
