Since 2011 the Canucks and the Canucks for Kids Fund have donated more than $700,000 to support mental health programming in BC, including significant funding towards Foundrybc.ca (formerly mindcheck.ca). By donating to the Canucks for Kids Fund, fans have also helped support several Balancing Our Minds Youth Summits since 2016, reaching more than 10,000 students in communities around the province. Balancing Our Minds summits are youth-led events that help support student wellness, build mental health literacy, break down stigma, encourage early help-seeking and connect students to appropriate mental health resources and services.
The Abbotsford Canucks are also proud to be holding a Hockey Talks game night on January 22nd against the San Diego Gulls. This marks the first ever Hockey Talks night in the American Hockey League (AHL) with other AHL clubs also participating this year.
