The Flames gave free admission at one of our games earlier this year in return for donations to
the food bank. Look for it to happen again before Christmas, and lets try to fill the Barn for this good cause.

On Friday, December 2nd the Flames teamed up with JRFM 93.7 to support Basic's for Babies. Fan's were encouraged to bring in baby food, formula, pabulum, diapers and cash for infants in need in our community. All fans that brought in an item were given a raffle ticket to win a signed Brendan Morrison Canucks Vintage Replica Home Jersey or an official flames jacket. Thanks to our the generosity of our fans, we were able to collect 200 pounds of food and $200.00 cash.
When the plight of the Mexican Migrant workers was discovered the Owners of the Flames showed their class by arranging for 20 members of this group be treated to dinner at one
of our very generous sponsors, Habanero's Quick Service Grill, and were then entertained royally at a Flames Game. After the game they came on the ice for a group photo shown above.
I don't remember if the Flames won or lost but the smiles on the migrants faces was enough
to make the evening a complete success.
The Flames teamed with the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 88 of Maple Ridge to Honor our Home Town Hero's and to remember those that have fallen to protect our way of life.
Held at Planet Ice Friday, December 8th, 2006
Lorraine Bates, the co-chair for the MR/PM Christmas Hamper Society came out for the toss and brought along her granddaughter Brianna and son-in-law Ray Arsenault to help collect cash donations for the Coins for Kids Fundraiser. At the end of the night a whopping 82 teddy bears and $84.02 in cash was raised. What I thought was really cool, is that a lot of people brought in multiple teddy bears such as Mrs. Sheard and my parents. Everyone made me feel very proud, that together we’re all doing better for our community! Thanks again to everyone who participated in our fundraiser!
I would like to thank our three volunteers from the Maple Ridge Figure Skating Club for sticking around to the very end of the game to help pick up these cute little critters. Our volunteers were as follows: Larisa Franklin, Jianna Ballard and Sara Mason. Thank you again girls, as I heard you had an early morning practice back down at the rink on Saturday.
