Bimose Tribal Council Board of Directors and Staff extend our sincere and loving condolences to Serena and Calvin Joseph on the unexpected loss of their beloved children Callie-iban and Evan-iban. We also extend our condolences to their extended families, friends and hockey teammates. They were active hockey players in the Treaty #3 area from Iskatewizaagegan #39 Independent First Nation who played in tournaments all over Turtle Island and played minor hockey in Kenora.

"We send you all of our love and pray that you find comfort in the support that you receive. Our hearts go out to you during this difficult time and words cannot begin to express our sorrow for your loss."

We must come together to show our love and support to all who have been affected by this tragedy.

On Wednesday, April 26th at 2pm, you're invited to join the Bimose staff outside of our Central Office (598 Lakeview Drive) to honour Callie-iban and Evan-iban as the procession passes by on their journey back home to Iskatewizaagegan. Please bring a hockey stick.
