REGINA – Watching an NHL game live can be a rare treat for some people living in Saskatchewan.
However, Sport Chek, along with Canadian Tire’s “Jumpstart Kids” program, sent around 50 kids to Calgary to watch a NHL playoff game.
Kids who are a part of Big Brothers in Regina were bused from Regina to Calgary early Friday morning. Also joining them was their siblings and, in honour of mothers day, their moms.
“I had phone calls where I said ‘congratulations you won’ and I had moms in tears,” said Leah Barnard, The Director of Service Delivery at Big Brothers Regina.
“Kids that were still excited were calling me, leaving me messages and posting things on Facebook. Even just the reactions from this morning and putting them on the bus was just unreal.”
