This land between the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers has been a place of Indigenous significance for thousands of years and remains so today. More recently, it became a site of colonization with the occupation of the North West Mounted Police and increasing settler presence, eventually leading to the creation of the city of Calgary.

The histories here are complex and diverse, unique and shared, inspiring and troubling. They bring together the land, the water, the animals, the plants, and the people who have been connected to this place for generations. They inform our collective experiences in what is today called Canada. Join Fort Calgary in exploring how these stories evolve, grow, and change as we continue to learn about this place.

Fort Calgary offers a variety of private opportunities to learn truthful histories of the city and Western Canada, with fascinating stories that reveal how the past connects to us today!

Fort Calgary is located on 40 acres of parkland.

For the first time in five years, springtime means planting season at Fort Calgary! We have reopened our interpretive garden and will be running tours and workshops in the space. All produce will be donated to local charities.
