Mississauga, Ontario — August 24, 2023 — The Masters Indigenous Games organizing committee is excited to announce that Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) has joined the expanding group of community partners for the Masters Indigenous Games. The generous support and valuable resources provided by community partners are what make it possible to host an event of this calibre, and we are thrilled that CPKC has decided to become one of those partners.

“CPKC’s community partnership for the upcoming Masters Indigenous Games is a testament to their unwavering commitment towards fostering inclusivity and empowerment within Indigenous communities,” said Marc Laliberte, president of ISWO. “We are grateful for their support in creating a platform that celebrates Indigenous culture, athleticism, and unity. The Masters Indigenous Games will showcase the strength and resilience of Indigenous athletes while promoting cultural exchange and understanding. This partnership exemplifies the transformative power of collaboration and highlights the importance of working together to create positive change.”
