A First Nation west of Calgary is asking for help from the public after it was the victim of theft this week.
In a post to social media, Bearspaw First Nation says one of its four tipi canvasses was stolen on Wednesday.
The First Nation says the tipi was taken from a site along the Trans Canada Highway, just west of Calaway Park.
It’s suspected the theft happened some time between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Anyone with information about the theft is encouraged to contact Cochrane RCMP at 403-932-2211- or Stoney Tribal Security Services at 403-881-2666.
