Nine children with the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Kincardine and District recently experienced the thrill of skating with members of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Little Sisters and Brothers took part in the Toronto Maple Leafs Skate for Easter Seals Kids, a Bruce Power-sponsored event, Sunday, Jan. 22, in Toronto. The event raises money for Easter Seals, one of Bruce Power’s partner charities, which assists children with physical abilities in Ontario. Jody Slesser, community co-ordinator with the Kincardine agency, and an administrative assistant at Bruce Power Restart Operations, accompanied the Little Brothers and Sisters’ to Toronto. “This was an experience of a lifetime,” said Slesser. “Some of the kids were so excited they couldn’t sleep in the days leading up to our trip. All of the Littles who went are big Leafs fans and are hockey players themselves.

“We
can’t thank Bruce Power enough for providing the opportunity for
these kids to meet some of their heroes. I’m sure they will never
forget this experience!”
Before lacing up their skates, the group had the chance to meet and have their picture taken with former Leafs Captain Wendel Clark. Then they hit the ice at to skate with members of the Leafs, had their photos taken, and received autographs from the players. After the skate was over, the kids played games and decorated Maple Leaf cookies. Scrolling stops when you move your mouse inside the scroll area. You can click on the ads for more
