CALGARY, Alberta - TelAve -- Ross Henderson Appoints Indigenous Student-Athlete Kyson Samson as Brand Ambassador

Calgary, Alberta — February 7, 2025 — Indigenous artist Ross Henderson, the creative force behind the Ross Henderson Native Arts, has named Kyson Samson, an Indigenous student-athlete from Wolf Creek Public School - Ponoka Secondary Campus, as an official Brand Ambassador.

Kyson, a competitive basketball player, is preparing to travel to Spain as part of an upcoming international athletic opportunity. His appointment reflects a shared commitment to leadership, cultural pride, and the importance of creating visible pathways for Indigenous youth.

Kyson's participation in the Spain program is possible through community-based support. Financial contributions from Metrax Indigenous, in partnership with The Rotary Club, helped offset travel costs associated with the trip. The support is referenced in a recent Wolf Creek Public Schools announcement highlighting expanded Indigenous programming and partnerships aimed at improving access and opportunity for Indigenous students.
