I only do THIS once a year...
Every day, the Ottawa Mission serves up three warm meals for people in need. Yes, it’s a men’s shelter but the meals are for everyone. No one is turned away. I can personally vouch for that.
The holidays are an extra special time. More love is shown in a wonderful display of charity, kindness, togetherness, cheer. Things that exist permanently within the Mission’s walls but really shine through during Thanksgiving Service. Guests of the Mission are invited to bring their friends and families and have a proper meal served to them.
Volunteers like these big events the most because the warmth kinda stays with you extra long when you’re a part of something so special. It’s difficult to physically become a volunteer on these days because they’re so HOT! But don’t dispair. Help is still needed and you can be a part of the Mission’s Thanksgiving feast on Monday, October 9th.
Rogers Radio has teamed up with the Mission. For TWO DAYS, it’s a Turkey Drop blitz! Listeners are encouraged to bring in food donations (large frozen turkeys) as it takes 80-90 20lb turkeys to pull off this magical meal. It’s also a fun way to get your name or shout out on your favourite station: 1061Chez, KiSS1053, 1310News or Country1011.
If haulin’ a bird to the station ain’t your bag...
via the Mission’s official release: Financial donations can be made online at ottawamission.com, over the phone or in person. Frozen turkey donations can be dropped off at any time at The Ottawa Mission’s front desk, located at 35 Waller St. Arrangements can also be made to have turkey donations picked up by calling 613-234-1144, ext 248.
'Fubar' heading to VICELAND
Rogers Media and Vice Canada plan to turn Fubar into a mini-series.
Filming for the 8 episode series run is happening right now in Montreal with stars David Lawrence and Paul Spence better known as Terry and Dean. Each episode will be around sixty minutes long (*some reports say the episodes will only be thirty minutes), directed by Michael Dowse who was also involved in the original films.
In the made-for-TV version Fubar we'll see the boys fleeing the wildfires of For McMurray looking for work. Terry seeks financial stability through online ventures while Dean, the dreamer, is busy working on a triple-concept album.
