LLRIB announced as host for 2024 Tony Cote Summer Games – Northeast Now

Nov 23, 2023

The Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB) has been selected to host the Tony Cote Summer Games in August 2024.

The community will host hundreds of Indigenous youth who will be competing in a variety of events, including athletics, archery, canoe/kayaking, beach volleyball, golf, soccer, and softball.

Kevin Roberts, Director of Sports and Recreation with the LLRIB, said that the band is already putting the games together despite the short notice.

“We’re very excited – very confident we can deliver and put on the games in such short notice,” he said. “We’ve [hosted] it before back in 2001, we organized the First Nations Summer Games in a matter of six months. Since then, our community has grown significantly in terms of facility development so I think we’ll host another good edition of the games.”
