4th annual Guns and Hoses charity hockey match

Ashcroft RCMP and Fire Department will be facing-off in a hockey game in support of Ashcroft and District Hospice Society.

On January 27th, 2024, the teams will face-off in their annual family-friendly head-to-head charity ‘Guns and Hoses’ hockey match. The event will take place at Drylands Arena in Ashcroft and will include prize competitions (as well as the beloved on-ice hijinks) to raise funds for the Hospice Society, whose major focuses include caregiver support, palliative care, AIDS support, as well as the creation of the Palliative Care Room at the Jackson House Long Term Care Facility in Ashcroft. The Hospice Society’s current goal is to establish a brick and mortar office from which to lead and train their volunteers, who support our residents and their families through times of personal pain and grief.
