Reach for the Sky School Day Game at the CTC Tuesday, February 11th

February 10, 2014 - National Basketball League of Canada (NBL Canada)
Ottawa SkyHawks News Release


On Tuesday, February 11 at 10:30am @ Canadian Tire Centre, thousands of students will learn about living an active healthy lifestyle and physical literacy, while linking it with the sensationalism and memorable experience that comes from watching live pro basketball as the Ottawa SkyHawks take on first ranked, Windsor Express. The game will be followed by a high school match up of Lester B. Pearson Catholic High School vs St. Patrick's Catholic High School.

As school communities are one of the most influential institutions in the lives of children and youth today, our professional athletes have been visiting schools all over the region promoting active living through the wonderful language of basketball. We've incorporated key messages on making things happen as a student in our "Reach for the Sky" Program. It is with these messages that we would like to open the ceremonies as we invite all students to enjoy this Game Day Field Trip.

               

In addition, we are fortunate enough to have a Professional speaker and International Author hosting this event.  President of the SkyHawks, Gus Takkale is an author on personal change and success, his books, 5C's in Change and The Road: A Journey Through the 5 C's of Change, have been sold all over the world and translated into three languages. Alongside star players, Gus will be presenting at this event as he brings creative ways to capture the attention of youth and share key messages of building an active lifestyle momentum in the Ottawa / Gatineau region.

Join all children at an event dedicated entirely to students and future professional athletes...
