The event, titled Lacrosse – The Creator’s Game, will take place June 17 at the Sutherland Campus and is being hosted by Indigenous Student Services and Fleming Phoenix Athletics.

Organizers say the day is designed to explore the history, meaning and lasting legacy of lacrosse as Canada’s national summer sport, while also offering participants a chance to learn and play together.

Two featured speakers will take part in the event. They include Jim Calder, a Canadian Lacrosse and Sports Hall of Famer, author and pioneer of the game, as well as Justin Warner, a professional player, coach and founder of Liftlock Lacrosse Company.

The second annual event runs from 10 am to 3 pm, with participants asked to meet in Room D1 114 at the Sutherland Campus.

No registration is required and lunch will be provided for those attending.

Open to all experience levels, organizers say the event is meant to be an inclusive opportunity to learn more about lacrosse while celebrating its Indigenous origins and community connections.
