2025 Blood Tribe Administration Chief and Council
Edmonton and Calgary Holiday Dinners Photo-Essay

On Thursday November 20, 2025, the second annual Blood Tribe Chief and Council Edmonton Dinner was hosted at the Edmonton Inn and Conference Centre in Edmonton, AB.

And on Wednesday December 3, 2025, Blood Tribe Chief and Council hosted their annual Calgary Dinner at the Best Western Premier Calgary Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre in Calgary, AB.

Please enjoy the following photo essay from the events by Blood Tribe Communications.

Each dinner provided an opportunity for Blood Tribe residents who call Omah’koyis and Mohkinstsis home a chance to visit over a meal, win some exciting door prizes, and receive updates and holiday wishes from Blood Tribe Chief and Council. An Elvis impersonator (but he sang like the real deal!) provided entertainment for guests.

Blood Tribe Chief and Council and Blood Tribe Administration would like to thank all members who attended the festivities. We would also like to thank all staff for their hard work that made these dinners possible.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
