The 40th Annual Elders Gathering gets underway today with a Wild Wild West Rodeo at the Williams Lake Stampede Grounds starting at 5 o’clock
Cariboo Chilcotin MP Todd Doherty will be among those in attendance.
He says “the elders gathering is a sharing of culture, a sharing of ideas, it is so important for our First Nations elders to get together with other elders across the province but also our youth and our non indigenous communities as well to to really share the culture.”
Doherty says he is also looking forward to the rodeo and says he will be taking what he learns from this experience back to Ottawa in the fall.
