About Chiniki Cultural Centre
The Chiniki Cultural Centre is a notable stop about an hour from Calgary, located on the left side of the road behind Smith’s restaurant, with parking and a nearby gas station. The building is beautiful and houses a small museum that shares the area's history, including information about the bands, the treaty, and the residential school system. The exhibits are educational and aim to teach visitors about the past while encouraging reflection and future progress. The centre also hosts creative displays, such as Christmas trees, which visitors find meaningful and beautifully crafted, reflecting the spirit of Christmas. Visitors can enjoy meals at Smitty’s restaurant attached to the centre, which offers good service and food, despite occasional staff shortages. Although some amenities like change tables for babies are missing, the overall experience is positive. The centre shows a genuine effort to share history and promote understanding, and visitors leave with a sense of respect and learning.

I am always grateful for the Cultural Center's existence, but Google's opening times are wrong.

On the way from Calgary to Canmore you can find this cultural centre on the left side approx 1 hour in the journey. There in the back of Smith’s restaurant . Parking available and a gas station is conveniently situated there

Beautiful building with a nice little museum and Smitty's restaurant. Service was good, as was the food. Only thing we were disappointed with was the lack of change tables for babies in the washrooms.
