A video that hopes to bring together Âé¶čAV communities through hockey has gone online.

Humanizing the Homeless through Hockey is a production from Âé¶čAV film group Solid Rock Video that brought together Âé¶čAV communities, residents and people experiencing homelessness together for a game of street hockey outside the Âé¶čAV Gospel Mission this past fall.

“In an effort to humanize those experiencing homelessness we ignited the community members to join our shelter guests for a good old fashioned game of street hockey,” a line reads in the video.

The West Âé¶čAV Warriors, Mayor Colin Basran, West Âé¶čAV city councillor Jayson Zilkie joined in the competition with Mission residents in mid-October.

Solid Rock Video was commissioned by the Gospel Mission and the video shares stories of how hockey and sports connect Canadians regardless of social status.
