Scott Dunlop and Andrew Garnett (the Two Fools on a Roof) skated out onto the ice during the first intermission to discuss their cause (garnering funds for Relay for Life by camping out on a roof for one whole weekend in May). In the second intermission, the Western Valley Special Olympics paraded onto the ice following behind an ATV donated by Dave's Sports Centre to discuss the Law Enforcement Torch Run. The Special Olympians were escorted onto the ice by Canada Border Services Agency representatives.
