There is an amazing new Blackfoot exhibition. Well worth stopping in for.

Many doors are closed for renovation or whatever, and why would some one pay to see some old rags feathers a tent and a couple of desks and chairs ??
I just simply did not like it.
You could have spread your culture paylessly though.

A very interesting and carefully curated collection of historical facts and recollections regarding the development of Calgary. We were there about an hour and could have stayed longer but had to leave so will return on our next visit.
I would have liked to have heard more about the indigenous population at the time and their involvement/lack of/impact on their culture but obviously there were more artefacts relating to the colonisers that made up a large part of the exhibit. There was a wheel of images that was very interesting capturing not just the western people but also some indigenous population which told such a story and was an important part of their collection. Each one was lit up as you moved round the wheel and described the scene. One other exhibit was 20 suggestions to take action to find out more about the indigenous population today, such as learning the indigenous name of Calgary (see photo). I liked that active part of the exhibit.
Definitely worth taking a look and finding out about the development of the city, it is beautiful and feels like a special place, with such natural beauty and a long history.

This is a museum carefully laid out and designed. There are quite many miniature replica of different kinds of premises enabling me to know more of the life over 100 years ago. Special thanks to Katie, who is so nice to explain the background information of the exhibits and the building. Oh, for those interested, parking fee will be charged and you can pay for the ticket by the reception desk. A very quiet place hidden in the downtown area.

We went to the Canada Day celebration and it was surprisingly good!
The grass area and grounds were a bit soft and soggy because of the rainy weather the day before but nothing that was particularly unpleasant.
Washrooms were clean and lots of security. The event was well organized and fireworks were really well-done!

What a lovely job they are doing showcasing the history of this place.
It’s undergoing a transition from Fort Calgary, with a heavy (perhaps exclusive?) emphasis on white settlers to one that incorporates the First Nation history of the place too. So I expect more change is coming.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Worth a visit.

Unfortunately Fort Calgary is no more, and history has now been twisted to appease a woke narrative. Still enjoyed some of the exhibits and you can call it an indigenous inclusive centre if you'd like, but none of us would be here without John A. Macdonald and we will remember him as the greatest Canadian of all time.
