In Our Opinion: Welcome to the 58th ANBT

The All Native Basketball Tournament is upon Prince Rupert for the 58th time this week.

The All Native Basketball Tournament is upon Prince Rupert for the 58th time this week.

The event has proven that even if you don’t like basketball, there is enough culture, food, tradition, history and socializing to entertain anyone.

And as we mentioned last year, while you’re there, you might even develop a fondness for hoops.

We welcome all those who have trained all year to represent their village and all those who have flocked to the City of Rainbows to show their support for their team.

Have fun, enjoy the games, the festivities and the friendship.

Just one thing. Remember this is about basketball, about culture, tradition, fun and friendship — not politics. Leave that at the door and please just enjoy the tournament.
