ESTEVAN - The Estevan Extreme U18 women's volleyball club faced local law enforcement personnel for an exhibition game to support mental health awareness Thursday night at Sacred Heart School.
Members of the Estevan Police Service and the Canada Border Services Agency were on the law enforcement team. The game was played the day after Bell Let's Talk Day, which is organized by Bell Canada to support mental health initiatives.
The fun match was well attended and $669 was raised through donations at the door. The money will be directed to the Jay Pierson Memorial Golf Tournament, which the Estevan Police Association organizes every summer.
Isabella Semenuik, a member of the U18 team, co-ordinated this matchup as a part of her participation in the Hidden Opponent Campus Captain program. Their mandate is to raise mental health awareness.
