The Salvation Army and the Estevan Bruins teddy bear toss is taking place on Dec.4. during the game with the Battleford North Stars at Affinity Place.
People can either bring a teddy bear to throw on the ice when the Bruins score, or if they don’t have one, they can purchase one from the Salvation Army at the game. Ronza Reynard, who is the director of Estevan and Weyburn Salvation Army branches, said that it’s always a fun night.
“Hopefully Bruins score first, and it’s just fun to watch all the teddy bears go flying onto the ice,” said Reynard.
When the night is over, the Salvation Army takes those teddy bears and delivers them to seniors in senior’s homes in Estevan and the surrounding areas.
“We take a teddy bear and a calendar and go visit seniors. That’s over a couple a day, and we usually have a couple of volunteers that will come along with us and do that,” added Reynard.
Some bears will also go to the summer camp and help kids from being homesick from being away, up at the camps.
