At Rise Calgary we honour and value the many Indigenous peoples that have called this land home since time immemorial.

 

We are thankful to work on the beautiful traditional territories of the Niitsitapi, and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta; including the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai, Tsuut'ina, Stoney Nakoda Nations of Chiniki, Wesley, and Bearspaw, and the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 3.
