The Joint Forces Jamboree is about bringing youth and first responders together on the same team — not just to play ball hockey, but to build real connection. We break down barriers, build trust, and create a space where kids see the humans behind the uniforms and first responders get to show up as mentors and role models. At its heart, this event carries forward Rick’s legacy of community, leadership, and leading with heart — proving that when we come together, powerful things happen. 💙🏒

The Youth Lounge is an independent space created just for kids — a place where they can walk in, exhale, and simply be themselves. It’s about connection without pressure, belonging without labels, and conversations that happen naturally. Here, youth can build friendships, find mentorship, feel safe, feel seen, and feel valued. The Youth Lounge exists because every young person deserves a space that reminds them they matter — exactly as they are. 💙

The Joint Forces Foundation was created to build meaningful connections between youth, first responders, and the communities they serve. Rooted in the legacy of Cst. Rick O’Brien, our foundation is committed to fostering trust, mentorship, and leadership through inclusive community events, sport, and outreach initiatives. We believe in breaking down barriers, showing up for one another, and creating spaces where relationships can grow — because strong communities are built when we stand together. 💙
