On Saturday afternoon the BMO Centre held the All My Relations Healing Powwow.
“It’s an opportunity to give back to the community in terms of supporting the Indigenous community, as well as all the other relations, all the other Nations within the city of Calgary” said manager of Indigenous community knowledge and community connections for Closer to Home, Sue Solway.
Solway was anticipating over 1500 people to attend the event.
“It’s an opportunity for healing. It’s an opportunity for everyone to come together and just have a good time and build relationships with one another,” said Solway.
Stephanie MacDonald came to the powwow with her family from Manitoba. She is a member of the Ojibway First Nation.
“It’s just really good to stay connected to the people and to learn more about the culture and stuff. We take these days very seriously, just to come together,” said MacDonald.
