Guns & Hoses Charity Hockey Game
The annual Guns & Hoses Charity Hockey Game brings the Kitimat Firefighter Paramedics (IAFF Local 1304) and Kitimat RCMP Detachment together for a friendly rivalry in support of a meaningful cause.
The 2026 game took place in February at Tamitik Arena, with the firefighters claiming a 7–3 victory over the RCMP.
More importantly, the event raised $25,000 in support of the Ladder of Hope fund!
This annual fundraiser demonstrates the generosity and community spirit behind the Ladder of Hope initiative.
