The Whistler, BC not-for-profit organization sold Indigenous art to raise funds to purchase skateboards.
“These…skateboards go right back into those artists communities. We’re networking and directly helping the artists’ communities by sharing their time,” said Executive Director at ILSA Court Larabee.
“We have more opportunity next year and looking forward to doing this again. We have so many more artists knocking on our door.”
Since the organization’s inception in 2003, they were known as the First Nations Snowboard team. Competitors travelled all over Canada to the Yukon, Nova Scotia and even Thunder Bay.
