Save the date: National Indigenous Sports Gala!

May 29, 2025

Ottawa, ON - Save the date! The Aboriginal Sport Circle (ASC) will be holding the 2025 National Indigenous Sports Gala on October 25, 2025 in Ottawa, Ontario.

Join us as we celebrate Indigenous excellence in sport and 30 years of the Aboriginal Sport Circle. This year's gala will feature entertainment, inspiring keynotes, and of course, the unveiling of the 2025 National Indigenous Coaching Award and Tom Longboat Award recipients.

"After the success of last year's inaugural gala, we're thrilled to make this a regular event," says Rob Newman, President of the ASC. "And now is the time. Indigenous excellence in sport has grown steadily over the past thirty years, and the ASC is honoured to have grown along with it." ASC Executive Director Vanessa McGregor agrees. " We have awards, a gala, and so many accomplishments to celebrate this year-it's a powerful reflection of the momentum behind Indigenous participation in sport."

The 2025 Gala will be more than just an event-it will be a showcase of the movement to honour the past, empower the present, and amplify the future of Indigenous sport in Canada.
