Every Kid Every Community Speaker Series

The Every Kid Every Community Speaker Series is a creative way to spread the message about Every Kid Every Community and engage grassroots hockey supporters in communities across Alberta.

Since its inaugural events in 2014 in Calgary and Grande Prairie, the EKEC Speaker Series has visited communities around Alberta. The community support and engagement has been phenomenal at each event, which is designed to raise funds for Every Kid Every Community, as well as to support specific local projects in the host community. Funds are raised through ticket, table, sponsorship and auction donations.
