James Smith Cree Nation becomes first First Nation in Canada to receive local KidSport chapter
For the first time in KidSport Canada’s history, a local chapter has been set up on a First Nation.
KidSport Saskatchewan representatives travelled to Bernard Constant Community School at James Smith Cree Nation (JSCN) Tuesday morning to celebrate the historic occasion.
“I find it really important because it keeps them busy, keeps them out of trouble and gives them something to look forward to going further in their sports and education and reaching higher goals for themselves,” said Dinah Marion, JSCN KidSport representative.
“I think this will be really huge for our community, and I think our numbers will climb in sports. We can have more parents come forward and have the financial resources there for them.”
