A once in a lifetime opportunity for the Koe siblings.
Never before had they played together at an event.
But here, in Chisasibi, at the historic all-Indigenous curling game they teamed up. Pretty special stuff.
It was more than just a curling game Saturday in Chisasibi.
Ten Indigenous curlers traveled to the Cree Nation of Chisasibi for an event they'll never forget. And a community is celebrating today. Inspiring to be sure.
Here's the full broadcast: https://t.co/qmhsugVlMZ
Now learning $7,500 was raised by the Indigenous curlers today during the Hot Shot competitions for local Chisasibi charities.
Many have asked if they can donate as well — and you can.
Local organizers say you can e-transfer to the email [email protected]
It takes a village.
What an extraordinary day in Chisasibi. Curling history as ten Indigenous curlers game together from across Turtle Island to play in the north.
I’ll never forget this experience. Congratulations to this proud Cree Nation of Chisasibi.

This should be mandatory curling practice music ahead of every game.
Energy through the roof as the fiddlers do their thing. Dancers beside the sheets.
Curling. In the Cree Nation of Chisasibi. Outstanding.

The Koe siblings. All on the ice together. Jamie and Kevin sweeping. Kerry delivers a gem.
After all they’ve done in the sport. This is the first event ever they’ll curl together. What a great memory this will be for them. And what a treat for us.
