Mackenzie Brown is centred in the image. Behind her are two of her Center City Banners which are brightly coloured and bold, one features a motif of a wild rose, the other a crocus. She smiles widely, standing in the snow. She is wearing a big fur coat which opens, to reveal a bead work necklace which spans her torso.

Our Commitment to Equity

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

We acknowledge that this land is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories including the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. This land is also home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Calgary Nose Hill and Calgary Elbow Districts 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.
