Depending on the community, activities can range from ball hockey to basketball, run/walk sessions, self-defence and, of course, hockey. “For example, in Winnipeg, we have a North End Hockey Program that’s open to youth that live within the boundaries of the North End,” she says. “It’s a barrier-free program where we provide kids with equipment. Then they just go out and play.” At the same time, the MASRC also has an
affiliation with the Winnipeg Minor Basketball Association. “We have five teams registered in the league from the ages of seven to eight up to 13 and 14,” Lamoureux says. “We also had teams take part in Hoop It Up, a three-on-three basketball tournament that was held at Red River Exhibition Park on May 20 and 21. We had teams entered from God’s Lake, Cross Lake and even Alberta.”
