KAMLOOPS — A concert featuring a mixture of Indigenous and non-Indigenous performers in Kamloops was recognized for excellence in community service.
The Margit Sky Project’s “Music for the People – A Cultural Experience” received a Communitas Award in the Skills Based Community Services category for its commitment and dedication to uniting Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices, fostering healing and inspiring hope.
In a news release issued Tuesday (Feb. 18), Music for the People states the Communitas Awards is an international effort to recognize exceptional businesses, organizations and individuals who selflessly give their resources for the benefit of their communities.
Music for the People was established in 2022 with a vision to have Indigenous and non-Indigenous performers come together in a shared celebration of culture, music and storytelling. The latest concert saw nearly 1,400 residents from Kamloops and area attend the Tk’emlups Powwow Arbour. The concert’s cofounder, Rod “Little Sky” Bandura, passed away in January 2024.
