We have worked diligently to build relationships with organizations such as the Calgary Flames Foundation to create mutual beneficial collaborations. Siksika has many young athletes who love participating in sports, but often don't have the means or opportunities to do so. We look forward to developing more collaborative efforts on a go-forward basis and continuing our excellent working relationship," Nioksskaistamik, Chief Ouray Crowfoot of Siksika Nation.
