About 600 children & youth live in Shamattawa, a remote, fly in community in northern Manitoba. There’s no provincial power, no recreation facilities, and little to do.

Hundreds of kids are eager to play hockey. The Local RCMP officers and employees are building them a rink, and they need equipment so the kids can play. We need your help.

Your donation will help them to stick handle through life’s tragedies, to breakaway from destructive activities like drugs, violence, crime and teenage pregnancy, and to shoot for life’s goals.
