H.E.R.O.S. Testimonials
Since the induction of my son into H.E.R.O.S. everything about him has changed. His attitude, his marks, his self-esteem have all risen to a level I had never seen before.
Parent, Vancouver
H.E.R.O.S. is an organization that puts children first. Since its inception, I have noticed the children's attitudes and class attendance improve dramatically. Students are utilizing the HEROS Tutoring Program and getting better grades and feeling better about themselves. As a teacher, the value of the Hockey Education Reaching Out Society is priceless.
Justin Borsato, Teacher: School District 39, Vancouver, BC
The Vancouver School Board is extremely proud to be a partner with H.E.R.O.S.
The H.E.R.O.S. program has a profound affect on the kids who participate and I have seen first-hand its positive impact on their academic achievement and skills to deal with their anger and frustration. I firmly believe that H.E.R.O.S. has empowered and supported our students in the development of social responsibility. We thank Norm and his Team for all their support and congratulate him on receiving the 2007 BC School Superintendents' Association Award of Recognition for programs that enhance public education.

H.E.R.O.S. has been such an unbelievable experience for our students. Thank you so much for your generosity, insight and nurturing. I am astounded at what this program is providing to our students, who thought they were going to be the ones giving their time (as mentors). Instead they have received so much encouragement and support…. I am exceptionally grateful for what this program has provided for our students both as a group and individually.
Sheryl McNamara, High School Youth and Family Worker, Calgary, AB
Our company has been involved since the beginning as a sponsor and I personally have witnessed first hand the change in our H.E.R.O.S. kids over the years. I can't imagine a more worthy cause than to help a child turn their life around.
Terron Falk, V.P. CIBC Wood Gundy, Park Place, H.E.R.O.S. Board member
This a wonderful organization that helps kids in need boost their self-esteem, improve their physical fitness and develop important social skills such as teamwork, commitment and loyalty.
