Join us October 20-23, 2026, for the Unity Ride & Paddle 2026, a four-day journey that brings Band members together to honour Secwépemc rights, law, and Kw’seltkten ties.

From Jasper to Banff and Invermere, participants will travel together by horse and canoe, strengthening relationships, sharing knowledge, and celebrating the bonds that unite us. Set against the backdrop of some of the most beautiful landscapes in our territory and beyond, this gathering is an opportunity to reconnect with one another, our shared history, and the responsibilities we carry for future generations.
