The Peterborough Petes, along with Scotiabank, and Sport A Rainbow announced today that Pride Night will take place on Saturday, January 14 at the Peterborough Memorial Centre. The game will see the Petes host the Niagara IceDogs at 7:05PM.
The Petes strive to create an inclusive and safe space for all to enjoy a hockey game. The Petes will wear specially designed Pride jerseys in support of the 2SLGBTQI+ community. Those will then be auctioned off during the game with all proceeds in support of Sport A Rainbow. The jersey auction will take place in the PMC Lobby, and will end immediately following the final whistle of the game.
“We believe that Canada’s game should be for all Canadians,” stated Scotiabank Branch Manager and Mutual Funds Representative, Charlyne MacDonald. ”Scotiabank is committed to supporting community hockey teams, associations, and organizations across the country. Through our Hockey For All sponsorship program, we are helping fund organizations aligned with supporting Scotiabank’s mission of making hockey more diverse, inclusive, and accessible for all. Scotiabank is proud to help open up the game of hockey to all Canadians, to realize a better future for hockey.”
Sport A Rainbow is a reminder to be supportive, respectful and kind to each other in spite of our differences. This support can be shown in your everyday life at school, work, extracurricular activities and certainly in the sporting community.
“I’m so looking forward to Saturday’s game,” noted Sport A Rainbow Founder/Operator Rose Powers. “I think that visibility is so important and I love that the Petes are willing to stand up and make change. I hope that everybody comes out to see what the Petes have done to make this an important and Prideful night. Thank you also to Scotiabank who has stepped up as leaders in our community to ensure the night goes smoothly and everyone’s included.”
