A Big Night with the Giants was a big success. Many residents in the area attended the pre-game event for Vancouver Giants autographs and photos, free food, face painting, floor hockey shootouts and more. During the game, spectators watched the Vancouver Giants in an exciting high scoring game with the Medicine Hat Tigers. It was a lot of fun, and for one long-time active community resident, their first hockey game. The proceeds went towards a great cause. Partial proceeds went to out-of-school programs in the community and Hastings Sunrise Community Policing Centre (HSCPC). Hastings North BIA, HSCPC, and the community schools sold almost 800 tickets!
