MESSAGE FROM OUR
HOPE PRESIDENT
HOPE 2016 CHARITIES
Welcome to the 34th annual HOPE Volleyball SummerFest,
a fixture in the Ottawa event scene at the world’s largest
one-day volleyball tournament.
The last couple of years have been very exciting for us at HOPE as we
continue to grow and diversify. Our office staff have worked extremely
hard on some new initiatives including the very successful HOPE Volleyball
WinterFest at the Le Dome @ Louis Riel in Orleans and a partnership with
the Greater Bathurst Chamber of Commerce in New Brunswick to host
HOPE Atlantic each July. The staff and Board are also eagerly working on
other exciting projects to keep HOPE front and center in your mind and also
to meet our mission of:
“HOPE is a volunteer, not-for-profit, event management
organization that raises funds for community-based
charities and has fun doing so”
With your help, funds raised today will support six local charities: Breast
Cancer Action, Ottawa Food Bank, Bruyère Foundation, Christie Lake Kid’s
(CLK), Do It For Daron “DIFD” at The Royal and the Ottawa Humane Society.
We have representatives from each of these organizations on-site 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 and HOPE Staff! This
dedicated group of individuals have been working together since early
2016 to ensure the success of this tournament. Thanks to their efforts and
to those of our 1100 game day volunteers, more than 10,000 players and
spectators will enjoy a day of volleyball, musicall the while fundraising all
in support of local charities.
On behalf of the HOPE Family, we would like to say thank-you 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
HOPE President

2016 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
for 2016:
Breast Cancer Action is a front-line organization that supports breast
cancer patients and survivors. We provide programs that support women
through a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and along the road to
wellness. We are a local, community-based organization dedicated to
enhancing the quality of life for breast cancer patients, survivors and their
families through practical help, emotional support and education.
Program benefiting from HOPE funding
BCA offers fitness classes in belly dancing, tai chi, Zumba, yoga and
stretch & strength throughout the Ottawa Region. The road to health &
wellness requires regular exercise. Mainstream programs do not offer the
level of fitness appropriate to newly diagnosed, post-surgery and treatment
specific (chemo, radiation) breast cancer patients. Our instructors are
trained to customize programs to the capabilities of breast cancer patients
& those who have or could develop lymphedema. Conservative estimates
are that at least 50% of survivors have or will develop lymphemema.
Fitness programs are highly successful in helping prevent, control and/or
diminish the effects of lymphemdema. Women who participate in fitness
programs need an environment where they feel comfortable exercising at
their own level, without wearing a prosthetic.
4 | HOPE
The Ottawa Food Bank collects, purchases, grows and distributes
nutritious food to its 140 partner agencies that, in turn, support upwards
of 50,000 clients each month who come through their doors in search of
nourishment and hope. Our core values are to work in collaboration with
our partners, and to ultimately serve our diverse community with dignity
and compassion. With just under 10% of funding from government sources,
the Ottawa Food Bank relies on community support to help move people in
need beyond hunger.
Program benefiting from HOPE funding
The Ottawa Food Bank will invest the funds received into the purchase of
wholesome food items to support the growing needs of its KickStart School
Breakfast, Summer Camp and After 4 Program. Kickstart provides healthy
snacks and meals on a daily basis to more than 5,000 children from 67
high needs schools in the Ottawa area. The program strives to ensure
that school-aged children have the proper nutrition so they can focus on
education and play without the distraction, lessened energy, and health
impacts related to dealing with hunger. Close to 50% of food delivered to
the program is fresh and not part of community donations (yogurt, cheese,
eggs, juice, whole grains, fruits and vegetables). As well, large volume food
purchases and special pricing with food partners enables each $1 donated
to be transformed into $5 worth of food – in this case to children who need
access to healthy food to grow, learn and succeed.
When seniors struggle, when people with chronic illnesses need continuing
care or, lives have been shattered by terminal illnesses or accidents –
Bruyère Foundation will be there to inform, inspire and motivate our
community to get involved. We are passionately dedicated to finding,
encouraging and nurturing champions for our aging populations and those
requiring continuing care.
By drawing upon the commitment, compassion and care of our physicians,
staff, volunteers and donors Bruyère Foundation will work tirelessly
throughout our community to raise funds to improve the lives of patients,
residents and families of Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital, Saint-Vincent
Hospital, Saint-Louis Residence, Élisabeth Bruyère Residence, Bruyère
Village, Bruyère Academic Family Health Team and the Bruyère Research
Institute.
Program benefiting from HOPE funding
Vision from H.O.P.E. – Vision impairment in older persons leads to social
isolation, decreased mental abilities and greater risk of falls. A pilot study
HOPE | 5
in 13 Ottawa retirement residences and long-term care homes using a
mobile optometry clinic showed significant vision impairment in three out
of every five residents. Given that this population is unable to easily visit
the optometrist for care, mobile clinics which take the service of residents
of retirement and long-term care homes. We will develop an approach
to provide inexpensive eyeglasses to these seniors. Based on our initial
study we consider the need to be approximately 170 pairs of glasses.
Vision from H.O.P.E will raise the quality of life for seniors affected by
vision impairment.
Christie Lake Kid’s (CLK) mission is to enrich the lives and prospects of
economically disadvantaged children and youth by providing quality yearround skills based programming.
Program benefiting from HOPE funding
To help engage the children and youth we serve through Christie Lake Kids
inner-city and camp programs, we have developed the Little Green Thumbs
environmental initiative that will help to build knowledge of environmental
issues; sustainable and local food; good nutrition and cooking skills.
Within our current after school programs called STAR (Skills Through Arts
and Recreation), we will deliver an environmentally focused program
including 2 weekend camps. In addition, we will introduce the program into
all six weeks of summer camp. The program will enable youth to begin the
planting of vegetables and herbs using garden boxes and composting soil.
Youth will also learn about the science behind native plants, organic and
natural food sources, as well as environmental games and activities.
disorders, anxiety, and substance abuse. Students learn resiliency and
coping techniques to reduce stress and stay mentally healthy. Ultimately,
our goal is that students struggling with a mental illness will self-identify
and feel comfortable to seek the treatment they need – the earlier a mental
illness is treated, the better the chances of recovery.
Mission statement: “To work in and with our community to provide
leadership in the humane treatment of all animals, to address the causes
of animal suffering, to encourage people to take responsibility for their
animal companions and to provide care for animals who are neglected,
abused, exploited, stray or homeless.”
Program benefiting from HOPE funding
Today, the single largest animal welfare issue facing our community, and
by extension, Ottawa Humane Society, is cat overpopulation. Each year
the Ottawa Humane Society admits, on average, approximately 6,000
cats into its shelter. Data analysis from shelter intake demonstrates that
Ottawa’s lowest income communities correlate with those that have the
highest stray and surrender rates into our shelter. In order to overcome
financial barriers and reduce cat overpopulation in Ottawa’s 10 identified
priority neighbourhoods, the Ottawa Humane Society will be introducing
to the City of Ottawa a subsidized Mobile Spay and Neuter Program in the
Spring of 2016. While very common in the US, this is just the second of its
kind in Ontario. In the first 2 years of this initiative, the OHS will be able
to sterilize 9,600 animals – ultimately making a significant contribution
towards solving the cat overpopulation issue in the city’s most high-risk
populations, and ensuring companions animals are staying in the home,
where they belong.
Do It For Daron “DIFD” is a youth-driven initiative focused on raising
awareness and inspiring conversations about youth mental health. Created
by friends and family of Daron Richardson who lost her life to suicide at the
young age of 14, DIFD is inspired by hope for a future where young people
will reach out for help without fear or shame. Funds raised by DIFD support
youth mental health education, awareness and research initiatives at The
Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre (The Royal). “Raise Awareness – Inspire
Conversations – Transform Youth Mental Health”
Program benefiting from HOPE funding
Is It Just Me? is a program at The Royal that provides mental health
awareness and education to students. The program helps youth
understand how their thoughts and feelings affect their mental health.
Since its inception in 2011, this program has reached over 6,000 high
school, college and university students with transformational knowledge
and awareness of youth mental illness; in particular, depression, eating

GAME RULES
AND REGULATIONS
14 | HOPE
HOPE | 15
HOPE VOLLEYBALL SUMMERFEST
OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT RULES
-There are 3 minutes between games. During this time teams must
exit and/or enter the court in a timely fashion, while the team captains
and referee mark and sign the score sheet. A coin toss or ball spin (air
pump direction to determine “toss” winner) will be made by the referee;
winning team chooses either: (a) first serve, (b) preferred side or (c)
receive serve.
1. Teams
-Points are scored according to the Rally-Point System (winner of each
rally gains a point). If the serving team wins a rally, they continue to
serve. If the receiving team wins a rally, they must rotate players and
serve next.
Teams must be comprised of 6 to 10 players. Six players must be on
the court (with at least two females) at all times. Teams not meeting
this requirement will be subject to default. The opposing team may
waive the minimum player requirement and have the match count
as an official game. This determination must be made prior to the
start of play.
2. Referees
-Referees will be assigned to the competitive and corporate divisions
only where available, the recreation division is self-refereed.
-All referees are volunteers and have the power and authority to
make decisions on any matter involving the game. The court referee’s
decisions are final based on his/her understanding of the HOPE
Volleyball SummerFest Official Tournament Rules. If the team captain(s)
protest a referee’s call that directly affects the game outcome, the
dispute will be resolved as per Section 6.
-The Let-Serve Rule will be in effect. The ball may contact the net during
serve provided the ball goes over the net in between the antennas
(without touching the antennas) and lands within and including the
lines of the opponent’s court (or a player touches the ball before it hits
the ground outside of the court) it will be considered a legal serve.
-A server may serve the ball from anywhere along the baseline.
There will be no “re-tosses” which means players will not be permitted
to let a bad pass drop to the ground without serving and then toss it
again to serve.
-A normal overhead serve (with both feet on the ground while serving)
is permitted in all divisions. Jump-serving is allowed ONLY in the
Competitive division.
-At the end of regular play the referee shall determine the outcome
for the game. Both team captains will be required to sign the score
sheet at the end of the game to signify their agreement with the scores
recorded. Court runners will collect score sheets and deliver them to
the Referee Tent for score input.
-Ball must be clearly visible to opposing team’s players while serving screening will not be permitted.
3. Game Interruption
-Blocking or spiking serves is not permitted however players may
receive a serve using an open-handed volley.
-If a ball wanders onto the court from an adjacent court during a rally
the game MUST be stopped and the serving team will be asked to
re-serve.
-In the event of an accident during play, the game will be stopped and
the serving team will re-serve after a legal substitution has been made.
No time-outs will be permitted.
-In the event of suspension of play by tournament officials, the game
will resume with re-serve at the point of interruption.
4. Game Format and Rules
-Each game ends after 12 minutes of play (signalled by a radio
announcement) or when one team reaches 21 points first. If time runs
out prior to either team reaching 21 points, the team with the most
points will be considered the game winner.
-There are no tie games. If the teams are tied at the end of 12 minutes
of play, one sudden-death rally-point (served by the team that won the
previous point) determines the game winner.
14 | HOPE
-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.
-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 one part of the same player’s
body only if the contacts take place simultaneously. Player may use
HOPE | 15
any part of their bodies (including feet) as long as the ball is cleanly hit
at contact. To prevent injury, kicking is not permitted in the Corporate
and Recreational divisions.
6. Disputes and Other
-There is no centerline therefore a player may pass under the net as long as
it does not interfere with the opposing team’s play. For example, a blocker
or hitter may land under the net and/or across the “centreline”, as long as
the opposing team is not hindered. Please note that this is to be avoided
whenever possible to minimize the risk of injury.
-Terminate any person(s) or team(s) play due to unfair play i.e. poor
sportsperson-ship, excessive consumption of alcohol, fights, etc.
-The Official Tournament Referee and HOPE Committee Members
reserve the right to:
-Open handed tips will be considered legal in all divisions.
-Postpone or cancel play due to adverse weather conditions, or
Attempt to resolve disputes using the determination of the following
individuals (in the following order): Division Convenor, Official
Tournament Referee, or if necessary, the Tournament Chairperson.
-If player contacts the net while playing the ball or to interfere with a play,
they are at fault. Otherwise, no fault is committed.
-If a dispute does arise after a game has ended, only the team
captains may present themselves at the referee tent.
-Players must rotate one position clockwise when their team receives the
right to serve (side-out).
7. Play-offs Competitive and Corporate Divisions
-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.
-There are no play-offs for the Recreational division.
-To qualify for play-offs in the Competitive and Corporate teams
will need to be the winner of their pool. Pool winners are determined
as follows:
-By the ratio of matches won/matches lost (entire pool play round), or
-Where two teams have equal matches won/matches lost, their rank in
the pool will be determined by the results of the game played between
such teams, or
-In case of a dispute that cannot be resolved by team captains or the game
referee (where applicable), see section 6.
-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.
-Common Volleyball Canada Indoor Rules will apply including the items
noted above or with the noted exceptions.
-If a tie still exists, then the Divisional Convenor will decide who
the pool winner will be.
5. Default Incomplete Games
-One play-off game between pool winners will determine the
court winner.
-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.
16 | HOPE
-Play-offs are single elimination for the court winners. Depending on the
number of teams in the competitive and corporate divisions there may
be “wildcard spots” or “byes” in the play-off “trees”. If so, the official
Divisional Convenor will determine the “wildcard(s)”.

HEY ROSETTA!
www.heyrosetta.com
Hey Rosetta!’s first album in nearly four years
represents the longest musical gestation in the band’s
history. In part, the delay was due to the lengthy touring
cycle following the success of their last album “Seeds”,
which was short-listed for the Polaris Music Prize, and
resulted in the band’s first JUNO nomination and a
performance on the JUNO broadcast.

When the band started recording at Montreal’s MixArt studio in late
2013 with producer Marcus Paquin (The National, Local Natives,
Arcade Fire), SECOND SIGHT began as a long list of these new songs
with “no real concept, no over-arching theme to the work,” says Baker.
Shifting more into musical textures, you can feel building up around
you in tracks like, “What Arrows” and “Promise”, the instantly resonant
choruses and lyrical depth all helped arrive at an album sound that
Hey Rosetta! cellist and multi-instrumentalist Romesh Thavanathan
calls “warm, yet mysterious.”
Over a decade playing together, Hey Rosetta!’s collective sound
has been lauded as unmistakable. They are a band that connects in
an inexplicable way. Tim Baker’s haunting and distinctive voice; his
writing, with a lyrical sensibility that defines the band as one of the
most poetic Canadian exports; the rolling indie-rock precision meeting
hooky pop sensibilities, off-set by the delicate touch of cello, violin
(and now french horn), that cuts through the most cramped club or
across any vast open air festival stage.

DEAR ROUGE
www.dearrouge.ca
While bands often spend their early days discovering their musical
directions and vying for visibility, the story of Vancouver’s Dear Rouge
is something unique and almost unheard of in Canada. The band is led
by husband and wife duo Drew and Danielle McTaggart. Between the
two of them, they carry years of touring and recording with multiple
bands and different musical ventures. It was these days of young
exploration that led them to meeting. Both driven by a passion to create
energetic music with a creative backbone, they formed Dear Rouge and
their debut EP Heads Up Watch Out Their follow up EP Kids Wanna
Know helped hone their alternative dance-rock sound and also led
to the duo winning the Peak Performance Project in 2012, the largest
artist development project in Canada. Bolstered by their success and
now financially equipped to delve further into their music, Dear Rouge
got straight to work on their first full-length record. The record’s lead
single “I Heard I Had” is a driving synth-rock jam, which shocked the
entire Canadian music industry by steadily climbing the alternative and
rock charts to the Top 5 - with no label or album backing it; a rare feat
especially for a band that had no previous charting history.
Dear Rouge’s debut album BLACK TO GOLD is the culmination of these
achievements. “This was our chance to go deeper. We had the time
now to take some risks”, says Danielle. The album boasts an expansive
sonic palette with punchy guitar hooks, uplifting synth layers, and
the sincerely powerful vocal delivery of Danielle. Producer/Engineer
Ryan Worsley and Drew produced the majority of the album, providing
a steadfast vision for their sound whilst working alongside Howard
Redekopp (Tegan and Sara, Mother Mother) and Gavin Brown (Metric,
Hey Ocean!). One listen of “Colours” or “Best Look Lately” showcases
the band’s ability to craft songs with mass appeal that maintain
independent authenticity. Dear Rouge have found a distinguishing
strength in tackling heavy, hard-hitting emotions in song form by
transforming them into tunes so easy to digest, you may not realize
what’s being explored on the first listen.
