Actor Will Sasso will film a new movie this week at the University of Guelph.
Filming of The Grizzlies will run June 8-10 at U of G’s soccer complex, with one of its fields turned into a lacrosse field.
The Canadian production is based on a true story about how a lacrosse team in a village in Nunavut raised community spirit, lowered teen suicide rates and improved school attendance.
Shooting for the movie has also occurred in Nunavut and Toronto.
Originally from British Columbia, Sasso regularly appeared on MADtv from 1997 to 2002. His other TV credits include appearances on How I Met Your Mother, Hot in Cleveland and Shameless.
