Join us on September 30th for Dancing in Their Honour: Truth & Reconciliation Pow Wow a gathering held in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Through song, dance, drumming, food, art and community, we come together to honour residential school Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, and recognize the generations of Indigenous families and communities who continue to be affected by the residential school system.
The pow wow will feature Indigenous dancers and drum groups, Indigenous vendors, food, and opportunities for visitors to gather, learn and reflect. Everyone is welcome to join us in a spirit of respect, remembrance and reconciliation as we honour the strength, resilience and living cultures of Indigenous Peoples.
A special thank you to our sponsors, Blackfoot Confederacy and Tourism Calgary, for helping make this event possible!
Anyone who self-identifies as Indigenous at the front gates of the Park will get free admission, as well as Heritage Park Members and Heritage Club VIPs!
Alberta was home to 25 residential schools, the highest number in Canada, with the last closing in 1996. As Calgarians, it is vital that we acknowledge this history, listen to survivors, and work toward healing and understanding. At Heritage Park, reconciliation is not just one day — it’s ongoing. Through the First Nations Encampment, the Yellow Otter Tipi, Blackfoot artifacts, and Indigenous-led programming, we commit to creating space for Indigenous voices year-round.
Paid Parking: is required at Heritage Park, with the first 90 minutes free.
