The Four Nations Arena in Maskwacis will be hosting a special fundraiser hockey game on Friday, March 31st at noon.
All funds made by this fundraiser will go straight towards a scholarship fund at the Maskwacis Cultural College.
Fran Ermineskin, Dean of Indigenous Education at the Maskwacis Cultural College, spoke with CFWE Radio about the game and why it’s important to the community.

For big games like these, lots of preparation must be done in order for them to be a success. Ermineskin says that their preparation window was really short, but they managed to pull it off.
The two teams playing in Friday afternoon’s game will feature a lot of guests, Ermineskin says. There are still some more guests that she hopes are able to attend as well.
More information on the game, as well as the college, can be found on the Maskwacis Cultural College’s website.
