An anti-racism partnership between the Town of Strathmore and the nearby Siksika First Nation is gaining momentum after delays in the past year due to COVID-19.
The two groups resumed meetings last week as part of a partnership formed following the shooting death of a young Sikiska man in the town in March 2019.
The partnership was formed to address a longer history of racism in the town and countless incidents between visiting Siksika band members and Strathmore locals.
