The Brockville Winter Classic is kicking off its new BWC Gear Up! Equipment Exchange Program with a free community BBQ and giveaway on Saturday, June 14.
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Canadian Tire in Brockville and features a live DJ, BBQ lunch and fun activities for all ages.
Organizers are asking the public to donate gently-used hockey gear to help make the sport more affordable for local families. Each item donated counts as one entry into a draw for two $100 Canadian Tire gift cards.
Equipment can be dropped off at Co-operators Insurance or Career Services in advance, or brought to the event.
Bonus ballots are also available by sharing the event online.

The program supports youth in need and encourages the community to come together through sport.
