Over 20,000 participants and spectators are visiting B.C.'s Cowichan
Valley to celebrate Aboriginal cultures from across North America. Over
6,000 athletes will compete in 16 sporting events ranging from
basketball to canoe racing, but sports aren't the only attraction: a

Message from Minister Bill Bennett
Bill Bennett was appointed Minister of Tourism, Culture and the Arts on
June 23, 2008.
"This year, B.C. is celebrating 150 years of cultural diversity,
community strength and achievement since the founding of the Crown
Colony of British Columbia in 1858. But there are so many other things
to celebrate. This year will also be an opportunity to showcase our
First Nations heritage, our rich cultural diversity, our shared history
and our many accomplishments."
