Four organizations are joining forces to welcome visitors to Lethbridge with the Blackfoot greeting “OKI,” meaning “hello.” The organizations are the Helen Schuler Nature Centre, Lethbridge Airport, Downtown Lethbridge Business Revitalization Zone, and McCain Foods. Coreen Putman, manager of the Helen Schuler Nature Centre, says an “Oki” sign in the park acknowledges that this site is part of the Blackfoot community’s vast and extensive traditional territory.
City of Lethbridge encouraged residents and visitors to seek out the new Oki signs and engage with each of them in their new locations across the region.
