Students from the Ontario Hockey Academy, including Tanya Disotell-Dunsmore and Gabi Davidson Adams pictured here, will be collecting non-perishable food for the Agape Centre this Thursday, October 31st.

This is the ninth consecutive year students at the hockey high school participate in this wonderful community activity. There are approximately 140 students from over 25 different countries attending the local academy.

Eight hockey teams will be visiting several different Cornwall neighborhoods, including Riverdale, Brookdale to Cumberland, the subdivision behind OHA, St. Josephs Secondary School area, North End Wellington East/Northwood area, Sunrise Acres, and the East Ridge area.

Student-athletes engaged in this activity will have the opportunity to volunteer and learn more about civic responsibility.

“It’s for a good cause, and it is the least we can do,” forward Gabi Davidson Adams said. She is a Grade 12 honour roll student from Cornwall, Ontario attending the Ontario Hockey Academy.

“This is my third year participating in this event. It’s something I look forward to doing every Halloween,” goalie Tanya Disotell-Dunsmore added. She is also a Grade 12 honour roll student from Cornwall, Ontario attending the academy.

The Agape Centre relies 100% on the donations of time, food, money, clothing, and other household items from the community to help families that access the services.

Each year the Ontario Hockey Academy collects thousands of pounds of food during their Trick or Treat for the Agape food drive.

“The Agape Centre plays such an important role in providing support in the Cornwall community. We are truly happy that we can play a role in ensuring the center can continue to meet our city’s needs”, Principal Jesse Ferguson said.

“This year marks our 12th year of operation, and we wanted to commemorate the event by giving back to our community in a big way!” Ferguson added.
