On behalf of Syilx Basketball and the Syilx Nation, we are honoured to welcome you to our territory and this year’s Jr. All Native and Spring Basketball Fest. This event is about more than just a competition – it’s a celebration of culture, community and upholding our youth.  

As we gather on this land, we acknowledge the strength of our ancestors who have walked these lands long before us, and we carry their spirit with us today. This tournament is an expression of our shared commitment to building strong, healthy communities through sport, teamwork, and respect.

We extend our gratitude to all the participants, coaches, families, and supporters who have come together to share in this experience. May this tournament be a time of connection, learning, and celebration, and may the friendships and lessons formed here continue to strengthen our communities for years to come.

Welcome, and let the tournament begin!
