Land acknowledgement
— In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour our ancestors and the original caretakers of this land long before we were here.
We recognize the Treaty 7 territory, home to the Blackfoot Confederacy, comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani First Nations, as well as the Tsuut’ina and the Îethka Nakoda Wîcastabi comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney First Nations. Additionally, the City of Calgary is shared with the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, encompassing the Battle River Territory, for the Calgary Nose Hill Métis District No. 5 and the Calgary Elbow Métis District No. 6.
As one of North America’s leading hubs for connectivity, YYC welcomes a global community of visitors, connecting them to nationally significant landmarks and experiences throughout the region. These include Banff National Park, the Canadian Badlands, Waterton Lakes, the Rocky Mountains and many authentic Indigenous tourism experiences.
Committed to the growth and prosperity of the diverse communities on these traditional lands, The Authority supports the lives, work and leisure of those who inhabit and visit the areas we serve.
