A group of Indigenous skateboarders who want to bring skateboard facilities to Alberta reserves is thrilled to have won its bid to purchase one of five community mobile skateparks from the city. We re so excited about the potential and future of this skatepark-on-wheels and what it will mean in reaching new youth and kids in our surrounding communities; youth who have never had access to a skatepark facility before, Zach Creighton of Youth Outreach, which worked in partnership with Cousins Skateboard Community to secure the purchase, said in a City of Calgary release on Tuesday.
