Members of the Centre for Public Safety Applied Research (CPSAR) at Lethbridge Polytechnic are hosting a weekly arts-based, social recreation, peer support program to encourage friendships as well as education of Blackfoot language and culture.

Community Integration Through Art Pissatsinaskssini (CITAP) is a research study which will plan, develop, implement and evaluate an arts-based social recreational peer support program in partnership with the Ninastako Cultural Centre.

Jami Albright-Tolman, lead researcher for CITAP and an instructor in the Criminal Justice program at the Polytech, says the end goal of the research is to not only make CITAP a permanent part of Lethbridge’s community but also to break down barriers between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
