ABOUT HHTH
At Hockey Helps the Homeless, we believe that every Canadian
should have a safe place to call home and the supports that they need
to thrive. To ensure all homeless Canadians have a fighting chance, we
host Pro-Am Hockey Tournaments across Canada where players raise
funds to make a direct impact in their own community. 100% of net
proceeds stay local to reach the ultimate goal of ending homelessness.

We need you. Together, we will end homelessness in the York                 HHTH is excited to get back on the ice and
Region and beyond.                                                           celebrate our 25th Anniversary Season!

OUR IMPACT IN YORK REGION
Since inception, HHTH has granted nearly $20 million locally to our partner agencies. They provide a variety of services
including emergency shelter, transitional housing, and mentorship programs for those currently experiencing homelessness
of all ages and backgrounds, while aiming to create long term solutions to end homelessness across the country.

                          360°kids has been supporting at risk and homeless youth in York Region between the
                          ages of 16-26 years old for the past 30 years.

                          Funds from HHTH will go to fund the Transitions program. This is an Extended Transitional
                          Housing program for youth aged 16-26 across York Region. At Transitions, youth pay
                          an affordable rent which gradually increases over the duration of the 3 years that they
                          are able to stay in the program for while receiving all the benefits the 360°kids support
                          teams can provide. The funding assists with subsidizing the youth’s rent over the program
                          as well as associated program operating costs such as the Program Coordinator. With this
                          initiative, youth wouldn’t have to constantly worry about having a roof over their head
                          while trying to lead a productive and healthy life.

                          Founded in 1982 and the largest emergency housing provider in York Region, Blue Door
                          provides life-saving support to our community’s most vulnerable. Blue Door is addressing the
                          root causes of homelessness to ultimately lift people out of poverty and into stable housing.

                          With the generous support of HHTH, Blue Door’s supportive housing program “Abode”
                          will provide life-changing support to families experiencing homelessness. The program
                          incorporates best practices from a Housing First approach by offering families up to one
                          year of subsidized housing and support services. Throughout their time in Abode, a full-time
                          Supportive Housing Case Manager empowers families with the supports needed to overcome
                          barriers and find long-term housing stability.

YOUR SAFETY IS OUR
                                                        HIGHEST PRIORITY
At Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH), the safety of our participants, staff, volunteers and sponsors is our top priority. Since the
beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve emphasized the need to keep that priority while still trying to raise funds for at-risk and
homeless Canadians during this difficult time. As we move forward with our 2021 tournament season, we will continue to monitor the
state of coronavirus and adapt our policies and procedures as the situation continues to evolve.

As a measure of caution against COVID-19, Hockey Helps the Homeless requires that all participants, including players,
pros, volunteers and HHTH employees for the 2021/22 tournament season be fully vaccinated against COVID-19
and be prepared to show proof of vaccination on the day of the event. You are considered fully vaccinated if you have received two
doses of a Canada-approved COVID-19 vaccine and 14 days have passed since your second dose.

        IN ORDER TO KEEP YOU SAFE, WE’VE                                                                                                                                                 1.                        Safety Policies

While this season may look different, the goal of our tournaments remains the same: to give at-risk and homeless individuals a fighting
chance. Regardless of how we play, 100 per cent of net proceeds from our tournaments will stay local to support our community’s most
vulnerable and the incredible organizations that serve them. Now, more than ever, your support matters.

Through this process, we will remain transparent with you and keep open lines of communication. If you have any questions, please feel
free to reach out to HHTH’s Executive Director Andrew Gucciardi.

                                                                                                                                                         The safety of our participants, staff and volunteers continues to be our main priority. Throughout the next
                                                                                                                                                         two subsections, we will describe how we are committed to keeping that promise to you, and how we ask
