Keynote speakers included Parliamentary Secretary for Sport and Multiculturalism Ravi Kahlon, MLA Mike De Jong, Mayor Henry Braun, UFV Dean of Arts Dr. Jacqueline Nolte, solo artist Jagdeep Singh Raina, and Buncy Pagely, a third generation Canadian.

Centred on the experiences of peoples of colour, this exhibit challenges the linear meaning of “Hockey as Canada’s national sport” while negotiating decolonization, race, ethnicity and the privilege and power of settler communities.
