It was more than just a curling game Saturday in Chisasibi. Ten Indigenous curlers traveled to the Cree Nation of Chisasibi for an event they'll never forget. And a community is celebrating today. Inspiring to be sure. Here's the full broadcast: youtube.com/watch?v=4vJhXLkU…

Now learning $7,500 was raised by the Indigenous curlers today during the Hot Shot competitions for local Chisasibi charities. Many have asked if they can donate as well — and you can. Local organizers say you can e-transfer to the email [email protected]

It takes a village. What an extraordinary day in Chisasibi. Curling history as ten Indigenous curlers game together from across Turtle Island to play in the north. I’ll never forget this experience. Congratulations to this proud Cree Nation of Chisasibi.

This should be mandatory curling practice music ahead of every game. Energy through the roof as the fiddlers do their thing. Dancers beside the sheets. Curling. In the Cree Nation of Chisasibi. Outstanding.

KOE CURLING FAMILY Remarkably, the Koe siblings have never curled together at an event. But the great curling family from the north is changing that tomorrow. Kevin, Jamie and Kerry are all on the same team for the Chisasibi Curling Classic. Here's Kevin Koe on what it means.

Over the next number of days these elite curlers are going to be part of a memorable experience here in the Cree Nation of Chisasibi. A chance to embrace culture, community and curling. The power of sport to evolve and grow and heal together.

A beautiful moment here in Chisasibi as the curlers meet the jersey artist. That’s Eddy in the middle of it all, beaming with pride and surrounded by curling greatness. He designed these stunning jerseys for the first Chisasibi Curling Classic taking place on Saturday.

WHEELS UP 🛫 We are on the tarmac and preparing to take flight to the Cree Nation of Chisasibi with Scotties and Brier and World champions. Quite the experience. Taking you on another sporting journey. Here we go folks.

Just found Jamie Koe still here in the bowels of the Brandt Centre. He was scrolling through his phones. Tears still in his eyes. “How’s that for drama?” he said to me, smiling. Special stuff for Jamie and the Northwest Territories.

With tears in his eyes, overrun with emotion, Jamie Koe shares what making it to the playoffs means to him and his team. This is as vulnerable and real and raw as we’ve ever seen Jamie Koe. This is outstanding. Northwest Territories is onto the playoffs at the Brier.
