We acknowledge that we live, work, run and walk on land known by the Blackfoot name Mohkínstsis, which we also call Calgary. This land is on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuut’ina First Nations, as well as the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. We encourage our team, race participants, and partners to reflect on colonialism’s enduring legacy and move forward in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
