Oki Siksika!
On Friday August 21, Siksika Employment and Training Services (SETS) hosted a summer student BBQ at the Piiksapi Memorial Arbour.
The day started with an opening prayer from Leanne Solway and opening remarks from Youth Chief & Council, Counsellor Darrell Daniels, SETS staff Tiffany Crow Chief and Carrie-Ann Backfat. Ice breaker games were led by Hannah Breaker, Riley Many Bears, and Jevon Holloway. Students in the summer employment program got to enjoy a day of activities such as traditional games, hand games, and a dunk tank, before ending with a high energy round of an Indian relay race.
Towards the end of the event, students and elders, danced to Michael Jackson and powwow music for a chance to win door prizes, followed by a closing prayer from Johnathon Sleigh.
A huge thank you to the Calgary Police for donating backpacks to the students! Good luck and enjoy the new school year students!
