What??!! You haven't heard of the Bytown Cup?!
What started as a group of beer league hockey players looking to challenge toxic locker room culture has become an annual opportunity for “good people playing bad hockey for a great cause.”

Health is a foundation for thriving and belonging. When newcomers can access the care they need, they are better able to learn, work and contribute to their communities.
Carty House plans to be there!
Make your voice heard!
