Ep. 11 -The Story Of Craig McCallum
Listen to full episode :
Episode 11 is all about The Story of Craig McCallum, from Canoe Lake Cree Nation, in Treaty 10 territory. Craig started his hockey journey at around eight years old and it hasn’t stopped yet; but there have been some ups and downs along the way. Hockey took Craig around the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, and even the world.
Aside from knowing that he liked hockey, Craig also knew that he wanted to be a teacher. Which he eventually went to University for, while also playing University hockey, and even making it to multiple Championships and graduating with his Education degree!
In October 2023, Craig McCallum was voted in by First nation bands from across Saskatchewan, as the 4th Vice Chief of the Federated Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN). Making him one of the five FSIN Chiefs and leaders, that oversees the 74 First Nation bands in Saskatchewan.
Craig is proud to be a drug and alcohol-free role model for the youth and has been sober for over 18 years. He shares the message that drugs and alcohol are a choice that you make each time. And how ceremonies are there for healing Indigenous people, in a good way.
Through his journey in his life so far, Craig has an amazing story to tell and the Future Sport Podcast is grateful he chose to share it with us… to share with you!
