The St’at’imc Unity riders will soon be arriving in our community.
The ride began on April 27th and will end on May 7th as the riders make their journey to the 100th year Declaration Gathering.
The riders look forward to the welcome of our community and the great hospitality that the St’at’imc people provide as they make thier journey throughout the Territory. This year’s ride focuses on honouring our Ancestors who signed the declaration 100 years ago.
The riders ride for Unity, Healing, Health and Harmony.
