Let's bring out the creativity and laughter together!

Today we celebrated 21 inspiring Indigenous men doing good work for their communities ❤️ The 2nd Annual Okimaw Awards was hosted at City Hall and brought together these leaders and their families, dignitaries, chiefs, community members, and organization partners. It was a RICH & MEANINGFUL time spent celebrating! Congratulations to this years recipients who are a bright light for many.

What a lovely celebration for Métis Week at the Delia Gray Gala 🎉. Congratulations to the awarded students that represent the Métis community with excellence as they pursue a career in justice, arts, and education. Bravo 👏👏

"These exceptional athletes were identified as the most promising and will compete one last time on December 2nd for the chance at funding and support as the RBC ‘Future Olympians’ program extension." WOW!!!!! These athletes selected also represented Team Alberta at NAIG! Congratulations!

This past year more than 2,200 young athletes participated at RBC Training Ground qualifying events across Canada. Last month, RBC Training Ground announced the top 100 athletes from across Canada who would compete at the RBC Training Ground National Final in Toronto. These exceptional athletes were identified as the most promising and will compete one last time on December 2nd for the chance at funding and support as the RBC ‘Future Olympians’ program extension.

Team Alberta for the 2023 North American Indigenous Games partnered to host a special RBC Training Ground in April where all Team Alberta athletes had the opportunity to test their skills. From the Training Ground, 6 Team Alberta athletes were selected to compete in the National Final in Toronto!! Congratulations to Thomas Okeynan, Gabby Paterson, Maddon Pagee, Drew West, Megan Kendziora and Zachery McCoy.

Today was a milestone in history as the City of Edmonton made a proclamation for November 8 Indigenous Veterans Day. Although this day was recognized nationally in 1994, it’s taken a while for local government to give recognition. But! It’s a move in the right direction. We’re hopeful more support will be made available for Indigenous veterans. Special thanks to president Chuck Isaacs of the Aboriginal Veterans Society of Alberta for your decades of service and now advocating for veterans 🙏

"Mayor Amarjeet Sohi presented the proclamation to the Aboriginal Veterans Society of Alberta in a ceremony at City Hall today - November 8, 2023.
Veterans Affairs Canada estimates 12,000 Indigenous people served in the First World War, Second World War and Korean War. An estimated 500 died.
National Aboriginal Veterans Day was established in 1994." (CTV News, 2023).

Today we honor the brave Indigenous men and women that sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Most returned home to Canada with a life long battle for support. This is why organizations like the Aboriginal Veterans Society of Alberta are so important.

Please take some time today to learn how Indigenous men and women were involved in wars around the world.

Big congratulations to this incredible list of Indigenous men leading a good path and modeling excellence for our community!!! We look forward to celebrating your achievements!! 👏👏👏

Join us at City Hall in Edmonton on Saturday, November 18 at 11:30 AM 🎉
