Location, Communities, Schools, and more
The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 3.
The University of Calgary is situated on land northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
The University of Calgary is located in the northwest quadrant of the City of Calgary. Calgary is the largest city in the province of Alberta, which is in western Canada. Alberta is bordered to the west by the Rocky Mountains and the province of British Columbia, to the north by Northwest Territories, to the east by the province of Saskatchewan, and to the south by the Canada-US border with the state of Montana.
