Sun Ridge Equipment Ltd. is definitely a company on the move in the mining industry. Sun Ridge Equipment Ltd. is located on the Tk’emlups (Kamloops) Indian Reserve and is a First Nations company proudly owned and operated by Carrie Leonard and her husband Cliff Loucks who also live on the reserve. This hard-working couple has been actively involved in the local and regional hauling and trucking business since 1994. Currently Sun Ridge Equipment has been working on a contractual basis with the New Afton Gold Mine since July of 2011 providing earth moving, rock crushing, road building and maintenance, mine surface building and maintenance, tailing pond structural maintenance, aggregate supply and haul, and custom screening. Just recently Sun Ridge was awarded the 2016 Tailings Pond Contract for the expansion of their tailings pond.

Carrie Leonard is a Tk’emlups (Kamloops) Indian Band member who has dedicated over 27 years working directly for the Tk’emlups Band and her home community, while raising their two children, and managing their growing business since 1994. Her husband Cliff Loucks has worked very hard diligently operating their family business for the last 19 years throughout the various economic times – good and bad.

After years of hard work and perseverance, Sun Ridge Equipment is now a growing and a very well respected company in the local business scene. Sun Ridge Equipment Ltd. was awarded the 2012 First Nations Business of the Year by the local Chamber of Commerce, and has recently been awarded the 2013 BC Aboriginal Business of the Year Award (ten or more person enterprise) nominated by the All Nations Trust Company. Owners Carrie and Cliff appreciate the quality teamwork from employees and local partners and credit this team-player attitude to their success.

This company is also proud of their impeccable service and safety record and their equally impressive fleet of equipment including: rock trucks, dump trucks, excavators (rippers), loaders, dozers, jaw crushers, screening plant, graders, bobcats, light tower, water trucks, service trucks, work trucks. Sun Ridge Equipment Ltd. has worked on a variety of projects such as paving, transport services, dykes, sewers, earth moving, and mobile crushing. Just recently Sun Ridge was awarded the 2016 Tailings Pond Contract for the expansion of their tailings pond.

Sun Ridge Equipment values the outstanding working relationship their company has developed such as the New Afton Gold Mine; the British Columbia Aboriginal Mine Training Association (BCAMTA); the School District #73; and the Thompson Rivers University. Sun Ridge knows that with quality partnerships the company can ensure that education and training opportunities will be utilized more efficiently to develop an exceptional employee talent pool for their business and for the local and regional mining industry in general. We are very proud to say that we have an 80% First Nations staff complement. Additionally, we have an outstanding working relationship with B.C. Aboriginal Mining Training Association (BCAMTA) and Sun Ridge Equipment Ltd. has an excellent reputation for ensuring that we have a majority of First Nations employees that are trained and recruited within our company to run a variety of equipment in the mining field.

Carrie Leonard’s past community work has strengthened her beliefs in promoting and providing First Nations education, training, and employment opportunities in order to promote Aboriginal economic development and the local and regional economy as a whole. Aside from providing direct employment and various local supplier and contracting opportunities, Sun Ridge Equipment also supports various local charitable groups. Carrie recently did a CBC radio interview about their generous $20,000 donation to the School District/Kamloops Foundation Howling Coyote Education Fund for bursaries for First Nations students - saying that “I wanted to contribute to this fund because many times students struggle financially in pursuing their dreams and goals, and we wanted to give back in a way that helps them succeed.”

As the company has grown and expanded so has their generosity shown through their donations to various groups.

Besides donations to the School District #73/Kamloops Foundation bursaries donated to the Howling Coyote Education Fund, Sun Ridge has also donated to: local cultural events, sports and recreation groups, the Kamloops Food Bank; The Kamloopa Pow-Wow; the Variety Club Telethon; the Aboriginal Day Celebrations; and is proud to include donations to the Thompson Rivers University for the creation of an endowment fund for Aboriginal students in the Trades and Mining Industry in the amount of $20,000.00.

Sun Ridge Equipment Ltd. hopes to continue to expand operations and truly appreciates the on-going support and encouragement of the local business community and the local educational institutions.

Sun Ridge Equipment Ltd. strives to be a ‘First Rate- First Nations- Service Contactor’

HOST DRUM Black Bear, Atikamekw Nation, Manawan, QC This drum group is from the Atikamekw community of Manawan, Quebec. More than 2,300 people live in Manawan.

The language is still commonly spoken. It is similar to Algonquin or Cree.

Black Bear drum group started in 2000 with only a few members. Gilles Moar started the group with hand drums only.

As more young people joined in throughout the years, Gilles decided to make a big drum instead, just like in pow-wows.

After three years of learning about the drum and pow-wows, the group attended its first powwow.

As singers started making their own songs in Atikamekw, Black Bear recorder their first CD in (2004). Their first nomination was in November 2008 at the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards

with their album « Akwesasne live ».

Three years later, Black Bear was the winner at the Aboriginal People’s Choice Music Awards (APCMA) in the category of Best Pow-wow CD Contemporary with their album « Out of hibernation ».

Recently, Black Bear’s album « Come and get your love : The tribe session » was nominated at the Juno Awards in the category Best Aboriginal Album.

Black Bear has been working with the Juno Awards winners A Tribe Called Red for years.

Current members are: Daveen Moar, Junior Ottawa, Gordy Moar, Kent Nequado, Jakob Ottawa, Leo Dube, Charles Flamand, Eddy Flamand, Nicolas Flamand, Keith Flamand, P-Marc Ottawa, and their backup singers Jenny Moar, Kathleen Quitich, Kimberly Ratt and Anabel Quitich.

37TH ANNUAL KAMLOOPA POWWOW

HONORARY HOST DRUM Sage Hills Singers, Kamloops, BC Our name represents the Kamloops area, Tk’emlúps known to the Secwépemc people as “where the rivers meet” and where we make our home.

Sage Hills formed in the winter of 2003; we have travelled to powwows throughout BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, California, Idaho and Washington.

Our group consists of several different tribal affiliations: Stoney, Sioux, Blood, Shuswap, Carrier and Sto’lo First Nations.

Since 2004, Sage Hills has released four CD’s:

2004, “Go for What You Know”; July 2007, “Where the Rivers Meet” produced by Crazy Cutz Records and dedicated to our mothers; July 2011, self titled as “Sage Hills” was named a finalist for “Best Powwow CD – Traditional” by the 2011 Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards and the 2011 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards, produced by Crazy Cutz Records and dedicated to one of our singers Late John Jules; and 2013, “Grandfathers” produced by Crazy Cutz Records.

See you all on the powwow trail...
