MESSAGE FROM

PRESIDENT
HOPE 2015
CHARITIES
Welcome to the 33rd annual HOPE Volleyball SummerFest,
a fixture in the Ottawa event scene and The world’s largest
one-day volleyball tournament.
2015 is a very exciting year for us at HOPE. Our office staff
has worked extremely hard on some new initiatives including
the very successful inaugural HOPE Volleyball WinterFest
Le Dome @ Louis Riel in Orleans and a new partnership
with the Greater Bathurst Chamber of Commerce in New
Brunswick to host HOPE Atlantic in August 2015.
With your help, funds raised today will support six local
charities: The Perley & Rideau Veterans Health Centre
Foundation; The Caring and Sharing Exchange; ALS Society
of Canada; Education Foundation of Ottawa; Ottawa
Network for Foundation; and Easter Seals Ontario. We have
representatives from each of these organizations here today
to lend a hand as HOPE volunteers. Please stop by and have
a chat with them to learn more about their programs and
the causes they are so passionate about.
A big thank you to the HOPE Planning Team! This dedicated
group of individuals, many of whom are volunteers have
been working together since early 2015 to ensure the
success of this tournament. Thanks to their efforts and to
those of our 1100 game day volunteers to more than 20,000
players and spectators that will enjoy a day of volleyball,
concerts and fundraising all in support of local charities.
On behalf of the HOPE Team, we would like to say thanks
to all our players, sponsors and supporters for taking part
in today’s event. Good luck to all and I HOPE you have a
great day on the beach.
Mike Taylor

2015 HOPE
CHARITY
RECIPIENTS
HOPE is committed to raising money for
local Ottawa charities and over the years has
donated more than 3.5 million dollars to over 110
charities. Our moniker of “Helping Other People
Everywhere” is never more apparent than in
the work that we do every year to put on our
event to help these worthy organizations.
Together with the support of our participants,
volunteers, sponsors and our community,
HOPE Volleyball SummerFest is pleased to be
supporting the following charities:
THE PERLEY & RIDEAU VETERANS
HEALTH CENTRE FOUNDATION
THE CARING AND
SHARING EXCHANGE
The Caring and Sharing Exchange is a local charity
that provides assistance to Ottawa families and individuals
in need, during the Christmas season and the back-toschool season.
The backbone of Caring and Sharing is our co-ordination
Service, which organizes the even distribution of school
essentials and Christmas assistance so that every dollar
can reach even more people in need.
PROGRAM BENEFITING FROM HOPE FUNDING:
Over the years, children from families in need have shown
a need for necessities such as basic school supplies,
backpacks and lunch kits. Studies show that children
who are reduced to carrying supplies in a plastic bag
and wearing torn shoes can easily become targets
of bullying and intimidation. The Caring and Sharing
Exchange works to provide back to school necessities
for low income families by providing them with a gradeappropriate stuffed backpack.
ALS SOCIETY OF CANADA
Since its establishment in 1988, the Foundation has raised
over $25 million. Funds have been used to construct the
original campus buildings in the early 1990s and Perley
Rideau’s Guest House in 2004-2006, purchase equipment
such as baths, lifts, improve the grounds and support
recreational activities such as the Health Centre’s recreation
and creative arts programs.
PROGRAM BENEFITING FROM HOPE FUNDING:
The Perley and Rideau Veterans Health Centre Foundation
are creating four therapeutic courtyards with permanent
gazebos to provide comfortable seating areas and the
installation of custom-made wheelchair-accessible raised
planters for horticultural therapy activities.
6 | HOPE
ALS Society of Canada was founded in 1977. We are dedicated
to supporting people living with ALS (amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis), and investing in research for the future,
so ALS will be a treatable, not terminal disease.
ALS Canada has a role in Ontario, similar to that of the
provincial Societies, providing services and support for
people living within our provinces – we help fill the gaps
between the healthcare system and needs of people living
with ALS. We advocate federally, provincially and locally on
behalf of people and their families for better government
support and access within the healthcare system.

PROGRAM BENEFITING FROM HOPE FUNDING:
PROGRAM BENEFITING FROM HOPE FUNDING:
ALS Canada’s In-Home Care Funding Program has been
created specifically for caregivers. This program aims to
alleviate some of the burden caregivers experience when
supporting a loved one with ALS. This funding will allow
caregivers to hire additional support that would otherwise
be impossible due to the cost of caring for someone with
ALS. HOPE funding will allow ALS Canada to provide
funding for in-home care to 25 Ottawa clients.
Funding will be used to support the Ottawa School Breakfast
Program and its expansion as need continues to rise. The
Program, with the support of over 300 volunteers, serves
over 2 million breakfasts a year to more than 13,000
children in 166 schools in the city each school day. Research
shows that children who eat a healthy breakfast perform
better academically, have improved attendance and fewer
behavioural issues. By providing them with the energy they
need for their growing bodies and developing brains, we are
enabling children to learn more effectively.
EDUCATION FOUNDATION
OF OTTAWA
EASTER SEALS ONTARIO
Education Foundation of Ottawa believes that all children
deserve an equal opportunity to learn and participate. That
by giving children in need tools for success like nutritious
food, school supplies, and the opportunity to take part in
extracurricular activities, open the doors to a brighter future.
Easter Seals Ontario provides programs and services
to children and youth with physical disabilities across
Ontario to help them achieve greater independence,
accessibility and integration.
PROGRAM BENEFITING FROM HOPE FUNDING:
PROGRAM BENEFITING FROM HOPE FUNDING:
Convent Glen, an east-end school in Ottawa located in an
lower-income neighbourhood, had their play-structure
removed for safety reasons leaving 120 students with
an empty play area. The funding from HOPE will mean
this small, under privileged school will need to only raise
$5000 more to ensure a new play structure is purchased
and installed in the Fall of 2015.
Easter Seals owns and operates two fully accessible camp
properties that are recognized as leaders in providing
overnight summer camp for young people with physical
disabilities. At Easter Seals camps, kids have the opportunity
to challenge themselves, build self-esteem and develop
rewarding leadership skills that will have a lifelong impact.
Funds received will help fund and maintain the Send a Kid
to Camp Program.
OTTAWA NETWORK
FOR EDUCATION
The Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE) is the hub of a

while serving) is permitted in all divisions. Jump-serving
is allowed ONLY in the Competitive division.
Ball must be clearly visible to opposing team’s players while
serving - screening will not be permitted.
There will be a maximum of five serves per player. After
five serves the serving team must rotate and a new player
will continue serving.
Blocking or spiking serves is not permitted however players
may receive a serve using an open-handed volley.
Spiking is only permitted in the Competitive Division. Spiking
in other divisions will result in an Attack Fault consisting of
a loss of serve (if offending team had serve at the time of
the fault) and a point for the opposing team.
Ball must be hit over the net on or before the 3rd hit on
each side of the net.
Players are not permitted to hit the ball consecutively (i.e.
players may not hit the ball two times in a row). A block is
NOT considered a hit.
A ball that lands touching a court boundary line will be
considered in play.
The ball must be cleanly hit and not held, lifted, pushed,
carried or thrown. The ball cannot roll or come to rest on
any part of the body however the ball may touch more than

Players must rotate one position clockwise when their team
receives the right to serve (side-out).
Any player substitutions must be made at the back row,
middle spot of the rotation. Gender substitutions are
allowed however there must be two (2) female players
per team on the court at all times. Substitutions are made
only when the ball is not in play. If a player is unable to
continue to play, they must be legally substituted after the
rally has been completed. If a legal substitution cannot
be made (i.e. the team does not have another player to
replace their injured player) the team is incomplete and is
deemed to be in default. At this point the referee will ask the
opposing team captain if they will agree to the defaulting
team playing with fewer than 6 players. If the captain does
not agree the game will end with the score as determined
by the referee at that point.
In case of a dispute that cannot be resolved by team captains
or the game referee (where applicable), see section 6.
Common Volleyball Canada Indoor Rules will apply including
the items noted above or with the noted exceptions.
5 DEFAULT INCOMPLETE GAMES
A team is deemed a “no-show” if the said team fails to
report for play within 3 minutes after the start of play
is announced. The team is then assigned a “default”. A
team with insufficient number of players to start a game
(i.e. at least 2 females on the court at all times during
play or less than 6 players total), is declared in default.
Defaulting teams are credited with 0 points while the
opposing team is credited 21 points. The opposing
team’s captain may waive the default and play the match
as an official game. This determination must be made
in the presence of both captain and the referee (where
applicable) prior to the start of play.

7 PLAY-OFFS: COMPETITIVE AND
CORPORATE DIVISIONS
There are no play-offs for the Recreational division.

lost, their rank in the pool will be determined by the
results of the game played between such teams, or
For a three-way tie (i.e. three teams have equal matches
won/matches lost within the pool), the points won vs.
points lost system will be applied to determine the
winner of the pool. NOTE: all points for the five games
played will be counted to determine the winner.
If a tie still exists, then the Divisional Convenor will decide
who the pool winner will be.
One play-off game between pool winners will determine
the court winner.
Play-offs are single elimination for the court winners.

and corporate divisions there may be “wild-card spots” or
“byes” in the play-off “trees”. If so, the official Divisional

SAM ROBERTS
BAND
5:30 PM – 6:30 PM
samrobertsband.com
Canadian singer/songwriter Sam Roberts released his first
true debut in 2002, following a popular demo he had made
in Montreal. Before that point, he had been a violin player
who eventually moved on to guitar and started a rock
band with his friends. After getting a bit of coverage on
MuchMusic, they decided to try their luck in Los Angeles.
The band didn’t get any positive reactions from record
labels and disbanded in 1998, but that didn’t stop Roberts
from going back to Canada and beginning to write again.
He put together the W demo before sitting down to record
his debut, The Inhuman Condition, which was released in
2002 and became the best-selling independent release in
Canadian history.
With their sleek yet gritty brand of alt-bluesy garage rock,
Toronto-based five-piece July Talk create rock & roll that’s
both boldly intimate and wildly confrontational. Each track
in the band’s repertoire is a conversation in song form,
with singers Peter Dreimanis and Leah Fay trading lines in
a lyrical face-off that’s at turns hot-tempered and tender,
reckless and poetic. Onstage that conversation warps into
beautiful chaos, thanks to the band’s joyfully unhinged,
spontaneity-fueled live performance. And in their music July
Talk piece together supremely heavy riffs, infectious beats,
and snakey grooves in a sound that’s savage but seductive.
Founded in 2012, Dreimanis and Fay partnered with guitarist
Ian Docherty, bassist Josh Warburton, and drummer Danny
Miles. And while Dreimanis’s initial vision for the project
centered on that tag-team vocal exchange, July Talk’s
emotionally intricate, contradiction-driven dynamic results
largely from the band’s raw authenticity.
After finding a manager and setting to work on their
debut,July Talk quickly threw themselves into a frantic
touring schedule that’s gone a long way in shaping the
sound and soul of the band.
In 2003 he signed with Universal and released his second
album, We Were Born in a Flame, in June. The album was a
huge hit in Canada and Roberts ended up winning the Juno
Award for Album of the Year, Rock Album of the Year, and
Artist of the Year. He continued to release well-regarded
albums for the remainder of the decade: Chemical City
in April 2006 and Love at the End of the World in May of
2008. Each album also won the Juno for Rock Album of
the Year. For his 2011 release, Collider, which featured Dave
Nugent on lead guitar, Eric Fares on keyboard and guitar,
James Hall on bass, and Josh Trager on drums, Roberts
changed from using his name to using Sam Roberts Band.
In 2014, Sam Roberts Band returned with the ‘80s dancerock-influenced Lo-Fantasy.

Canada. With every note, they pay homage to the rhythm &
blues, funk, soul, and rock & roll traditions. Thus standing on the
shoulders of past musical masters, they have crafted an organic
sound that is both timeless and current, raw and refined. Their
music truly comes to life in live performance, where their skillful
musicianship, charismatic presence, and raw energy invite the
audience to join them deep in the groove.
Lemon Cash are a 5 piece band hailing from Ottawa, Canada.
The band consists of members; Cory Papineau (lead vocals,
guitar, keyboard), Jeff Armstrong (guitar, vocals), Stefano
Provenzano (guitar, vocals), Zack Robillard (bass, vocals), Jeff
Papineau (drums, vocals). They began covering songs as a
pastime from major influences; The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen,
The 1975, Young the Giant and Kings of Leon, which then led
to the band inadvertently creating their own sound. After
much positive feedback from family and friends, Lemon Cash
decided to begin writing their own songs, but still keep the
soft-rock/indie rock fusion sound.

School of Rock is North America’s leading Performance-based
music education program. Their method is using the best music
ever created, Rock and Roll, to teach our students how to not
only play an instrument, but how to work in a collaborative band
setting, mentor their peers, learn the history of Rock music, and
put on some GREAT Rock shows. All levels of experience are
welcome! No experience necessary. We get the kids playing
an instrument the moment they walk into the school.
We don’t teach music to put on shows; we put on shows to
teach music. School of Rock – Orleans has programs for all
ages. Whatever your age, child or adult, we have a program
just for you. The H.O.P.E. audience will get to experience
our House Band; the most advanced and dedicated of our
students. Make no mistake; this is NOT a cute novelty act! These
