Fort Calgary

The confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers has been a historical and cultural gathering place from the first Indigenous people thousands of years ago to the arrival of the North-West Mounted Police (NWNP) in 1875. From its origins as Mohkinsstsis (Blackfoot), Wîchîspa (Nakoda) and Guts’ists’i (Tsuut’ina), to its more recent history as a national, provincial and municipal historic site, Fort Calgary has a complex story to tell. Today, Fort Calgary is an interpretive centre, a 40-acre park, and lots more.
