Office Closure for Heritage Day

Office Closure for Heritage Day

Our staff will be off and the office will be closed on Monday, August 7, 2023 for Heritage Day. Plan your long weekend by visiting our events calendar at yycwhatson.ca and browsing the listings for festivals, theatre, film, dance, music and other arts experiences taking place in Calgary. 

Please note: Calgary Arts Development has moved a few blocks west to a new office on the 14th Floor of The Edison building downtown at 150 9th Ave. SW (directly across from the Fairmont Palliser). We continue to have a hybrid working environment, so if you want to set up an in-person meeting with one of our staff members, please check in with them first to make sure they are available and in the office. Visit our staff directory for contact information.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
