At the gala which was sold out and attended by almost 800 guests, Tribal Chief spoke about working together to make Saskatoon a better city for all.
Tribal Chief was also presented with a new headdress by the seven-member Chiefs of STC. Tribal Chief Arcand repeated that the work STC does is a team effort and starts with the Chiefs. He then presented them with Star blankets as recognition for their leadership.
