第三届卡尔加里教育局传统盛会于2017年5月5日在Crescent Heights高中举行。这个由Piikani族族长Reg Crowshoe指导的活动，是一个为所有学生庆祝成就并体现和解精神的社区庆典。

这个盛会从创办之初就不断发展壮大；今年，有超过1300名社区成员、CBE领导、员工、学生和12个鼓组共同参加了庆祝活动。来自Enoch克里族的国际环球小姐Ashley Callingbull也特别出席了盛会。主持人Hal Eagletail以幽默和故事取悦观众，营造了一个充满活力和热情的氛围。

CBE原住民教育团队得到了包括YMCA卡尔加里分会、Pathways和USAY在内的强大社区合作伙伴的支持。盛会得益于卡尔加里基金会的慷慨资助和我们亲切的东道主Crescent Heights高中。

在盛会之前，CBE各年级6至9年级的学生有机会参加首个盛会研讨会，在原住民学习中心向Reg Crowshoe长者、Turning Robe鼓手和年轻导师盛会舞者学习盛会的文化意义和鼓舞及舞蹈的重要性。两个半天的研讨会以传统的圆舞结束，参与者超过250人。鼓励参与者在学校社区内分享他们的经历，以激发对原住民知识、方式和实践的持续学习。

​The 3rd Annual Calgary Board of Education Traditional Pow Wow was held on May 5, 2017 at Crescent Heights High School. The event, guided by Piikani Elder Reg Crowshoe, was a community celebration of success for all students in the spirit of reconciliation.

The Pow Wow has continued to grow from its inception; this year upwards of 1300 community members, CBE leaders, staff, students and 12 drum groups joined in the celebration.  Mrs. Universe, Ashley Callingbull from Enoch Cree Nation made a special appearance. Master of Ceremonies, Hal Eagletail entertained the crowd with humour and stories, creating a spirited and lively atmosphere.

The CBE Indigenous Education Team was supported by a strong network of community partners including, YMCA Calgary, Pathways and USAY. The Pow Wow was made possible by a generous grant from the Calgary Foundation and our gracious host, Crescent Heights High School.

Leading up to the Pow Wow, students in Grades 6 to 9 from across the CBE had the opportunity to attend the first Pow Wow Workshop at the Aboriginal Learning Centre. This was an amazing experience for students who learned from Elder Reg Crowshoe, Turning Robe Drummers, and youth mentor Pow Wow dancers about the cultural significance, and importance of drumming and dancing at Pow Wow. The two half-day workshops culminated with a traditional Round Dance for the more than 250 participants. Participants were encouraged to share their experiences within their school communities to inspire continued learning through Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing.
