Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake Indian Band Councillor Rick Gilbert hopes his idea for the region’s first multicultural powwow will become an annual event. “We have a lot of events at Sugar Cane but rarely invite
other people,” Gilbert told city council during its regular meeting Tuesday as he shared information about the event planned for June. “Just like this is my first time at city hall I bet there are people in Williams Lake who have lived here all their lives and never set foot on a reserve.” Gilbert and his planning com-
mittee have tentatively set a date for the event to take place the weekend of June 11 and 12 at the powwow grounds at Sugar Cane. Ethnic groups will be encouraged to participate, sharing food, dancing, songs, art and traditions. Similar to the powwows, there will be a grand entrance with
people carrying flags as they do in the Olympics. Throughout the weekend various activities will unfold on the stage such as fiddling, bagpipes, even Russian dancers, he envisions. See FIRST Page A3
