Here’s what’s going to happen to the individual items of the memorial. Super classy move to not just bin it all and find a way for all of it to have a purpose.
Really great job by the Flames here. If you laid an item here, you know that it will be used in a way that has meaning

The Flames absolutely knocked it out of the park with this. There is so much coordination involved, and having a thoughtful idea for each item being donated is incredible. I’m also sure there will be more to come in the future.
Say what you want, but I think the Flames are one of the best organizations in all of sports when it comes to being very socially aware. The Flames Foundation is also one of the best run charity groups run by sports teams.

I was wondering about this the other night. What’s the right or classy thing to do with the memorial items? The Flames absolutely knocked it out of the park and thought of everything

That’s how you PR. Whoever came up with this strategy and wrote this deserves a raise. Well done.

This is so classy. Great work

This is so great and thoughtful. Other than the Skittles, there is zero waste and even that is turned into a cause. Other fans may hate the team but nobody can say anything negative about the organization.

give away the skittles but drain the more expensive Gatorade?

I’m a Canucks fan, but will absolutely salute Calgary, and the Flames organisation. Well done! 👏 May Johnny and Matthew rest in eternal peace.

Hope to see flames fans do something in Johnnys name every year. Think we could do a lot of good for Calgary

I was wondering what y’all were gonna do with the memorial; figured it was gonna be a really awkward conversation of “hey…season starts soon and our main gate is completely blocked” but this is fantastic from the organization, what a great use of the memorial all around and preserves or utilizes every aspect in one way or another.
Great work by the Flames org

I literally just made a post about this last week because I wanted to know what was being done about everything and I’m glad that they showed itemized receipts

All great ideas. However, I would have loved to see some type of donation or support for various impaired driving organizations like MADD or the like. Just my 2 cents.

Very thoughtful and almost no waste. Those benches will be a lasting memory and tribute
