🏒 CANADA’S HOCKEY CULTURE: THE CONVERSATION WE NEED TO HAVE.
What happens when the culture of a sport fails the people who play it? And what will it take to create meaningful change?

On October 22, join acclaimed investigative journalist Rick Westhead for an important and timely conversation about Canada’s troubled hockey culture, masculinity, systemic failures, accountability, and how individuals and institutions can do better.

Why Rick Westhead? A two-time Canadian Sports Writer of the Year and recipient of the Arnold Amber Award for Investigative Journalism, Westhead is the bestselling author of We Breed Lions: Confronting Canada’s Troubled Hockey Culture. His reporting has sparked national conversations about safety, accountability, and culture in sport.

💜 More than a conversation. This event is part of UFV’s President’s Leadership Lecture Series and supports the annual Purple Lights Nights campaign.

PURPLE LIGHTS NIGHTS 💜🏉

Happy International Day of the Girl! Today, we shine purple for the incredible girls of Abbotsford Rugby - strong, fearless, and full of potential!

Every tackle, every try, and every challenge overcome tells a story of courage, teamwork, and sisterhood. These girls are breaking barriers, building confidence, and proving that they belong on the field and everywhere their dreams take them. 💪💜

Today we celebrate their strength, their voices, their dreams, and the bright futures ahead of them. Let’s continue to empower our girls to lead, grow, and shine - both on and off the field.

Strong girls. Brave hearts. Brighter futures.

Intimate partner violence is happening all around us - to people we know, love, and see every day. We all have a role to play in creating change. Education, awareness, and speaking up can make a difference.

A huge thank you to the Abbotsford Rugby Football Club for rocking your new custom Purple Lights Nights jerseys at the Gobbler Tournament and helping us keep the conversation going! 💜

Together, we can break the silence, support those impacted, and build safer communities.
