We are very excited for this year’s tournament – 43 teams will play in six divisions with players representing all areas of the MNR! While the focus is playing hockey, this tournament is also about reconnecting with old friends and coworkers and making some new ones. Come out to the social events at Allandale Community Centre and make sure not to miss the exciting sledge hockey exhibition game on Thursday evening – these two teams are old rivals and it’s sure to be an action packed game. The organizing committee would like to thank everyone who made this event a success ‐ MNR staff, spouses and children, hockey players, friends and community members – this tournament would not have happened without your tremendous support. The theme of this tournament is Diversity and Inclusion and is reflected through the sledge hockey game, used equipment collection, our volunteers and partners from Simcoe Community Services and Autism Ontario and our Diversity Lunch. Here’s to a fun filled weekend of hockey! Thank you from the 39th Tournament Organizing Committee, Brad Allan, Cliff VanKoughnett, Kate Gee, Amanda McLachlan, Rick Williams, Graham Findlay, Talena Kraus, Brett Cachagee, Ken Cadeau, and Jennifer Tang.

Mark Shoreman District Manager Midhurst District 4 5 6 March 2013 We would like to welcome members of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to the Barrie area in celebration of their provincial hockey tournament. We are pleased to be partnering with the MNR. We are an organization who supports people who have an intellectual disability to pursue their dreams and interests. Many people we support hope to attain employment. Over the last couple of years, MNR has provided a number of placements for people who have intellectual challenges as well as employment opportunities. It is community partners like MNR that help us support the people we serve with dignity and grace. Welcome to Barrie and may the best team win! Marion Peck, BA, MBA Chief Executive Officer, Simcoe Community Services 7 8 Welcome players! The Southern, Northwest, and Northeast Regional Diversity teams in the Ministry of Natural Resources have been created to provide an opportunity for employees from all levels to actively support and play a role in creating and implementing diversity initiatives as they relate to local work cultures. Our team Champions and Chairs are Karan Aquino, Director of the Aboriginal Policy Branch for the Southern Region, Jim Duncan, Regional Strategic Development and Issues Management Coordinator for the Northeast Region and Catherine Shaw, Regional Operations Manager for the Northwest Region. Their dedication and contribution enable the Diversity Teams to realize their mandate which is to “Enable, inspire, and take meaningful action to coordinate, support, and deliver diversity‐related initiatives which contribute to the achievement of MNR business goals and the OPS Diversity vision and plan.” The teams are comprised of a diverse group of passionate and committed individuals who are not only diverse in personal backgrounds but professionally from all levels of the corporation from management to intern level, from three different divisions within MNR and from various locations throughout the province. Together, the teams have accomplished many milestones. Below are a few highlights: . Southern Region: Has held an annual Diversity Awareness event in Peterborough, showcasing various levels of diversity through a series of lunch and learns, delivering presentations to various district offices and of course, assisting in the organization of this MNR Hockey Tournament! . Northwest Region: Their primary focus has been on education and awareness that has included events with Walter Fordham, who has delivered many engaging workshops on Diversity throughout MNR. The team in the northwest has also focused on First Nations issues, held a generational awareness learning event, a dialogue on China and most recently a diversity exchange featuring breads of the world. Northeast Region: The Northeast team has been busy delivering Empowerment Training sessions which focus on valuing diversity in the workplace. 9 Meet your Diversity Teams!

Congratulations to MNR and its staff for continuing this wonderful tradition and for including an example of accessibility at its best – sledge hockey. Our advice for this weekend is borrowed from the great one: A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
