Canada’s premier Indigenous hockey event is coming to Kamloops, and Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc is seeking volunteers to help out.

The National Aboriginal Hockey Championships will take place from May 4 to May 11. Six male and six female under-18 hockey teams from across the country will compete for the Turtle Island Cup.
