2023 Indigenous Girls Hockey Jamborees
With support from ParticipACTION, The Genevieve Francis Memorial Fund was thrilled to partner with the Canadian Sport Institute Atlantic to host the 2023 Indigenous Girls Hockey Jamborees! Taking place across Atlantic Canada (Fredericton, NB; Charlottetown, PE; Truro, NS; & Nain, NL), these full day events aimed to celebrate Indigenous women and girls in hockey and featured on-ice session, cultural activities, and participation by national team member Victoria Bach in select locations.
