Abbotsford Canucks to Recognize Local Heroes on BCLC Community Heroes Night
Vancouver, B.C. – With the team’s regular season home schedule coming to a close and a playoff spot secured, the Abbotsford Canucks are taking the opportunity to recognize individuals who make a difference in their community. Today, the Abbotsford Canucks are proud to announce further details regarding BCLC Community Heroes Night on Saturday, April 6th as the team hosts the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
BCLC Community Heroes Night is dedicated to those individuals who positively impact the lives of others, and whose actions further contribute to the betterment of our community. The Canucks take pride in celebrating these local heroes.
“Community heroes are among those who represent the best of our society, especially here in the Fraser Valley,” said Rick Comeau, General Manager, Abbotsford Centre. “These individuals don’t seek recognition or accolades for the duties and services they perform, but we wish to take this night, along with our fans, to thank them for all they do for the City of Abbotsford and Fraser Valley as a whole.”
There will be a ceremonial puck drop featuring members of the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) and Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS).
The Abbotsford Centre concourse will be filled with activations throughout the game. Fans can find APD and AFRS in Sections 115 and 111, respectively. Section 101 will feature a photo booth with Superheroes such as Spiderman, Batman, Wolverine, and Wonder Woman, as well as an airbrush tattoo station. There will be mascots from APD, AFRS, and BC Ambulance Service in attendance as well.
Section 106 will see BC Ambulance Service hosting an information booth, Section 112 will host Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue, and Sections 113 and 114 will see BCLC PlayNow hold an activation.
