Grades 5-7 are invited to attend a Battle of the Badges Hockey Game on Feb. 28th at Sungod Arena in North Delta.  Over 1,600 Delta elementary students are expected to watch the game which coincides with Pink Shirt Day.

“We are so pleased that our local police and fire departments, and the Corporation of Delta, are committed to supporting a culture of inclusivity and belonging for all our students,” said Sheppard. “Pink Shirt Day is an opportunity for our learners to come together in celebration of diversity and stands as a reminder to choose kindness today and each and every day of the year.”

“Battle of the Badges is a collaboration of the police, fire department, Delta School District, Delta Police Foundation and Corporation of Delta This Hockey Game is a fun way to send this important message to our young people and hopefully it rises up to the adults as well,”  Dubord. “We can all use a little encouragement to #CHOOSEKINDNESS and celebrate our diversity and have unity in that diversity.”
