Path to Reconciliation Walking Tour
Learn the truth about the impacts of colonialism in Canada on this riverside tour with stops at exhibits, historical sites, public art, and monuments. This tour will share a critical look at settler-colonialism, First Nations and Metis history, the Indian Residential School System, the Indian Act, and how Treaty 7 shaped the history of the place we now call Calgary. As April 12, 2026 marks 150 years since the Indian Act was enacted in 1876, this tour also invites reflection on the enduring impacts of this legislation on Indigenous communities.
This 90-minute walk through Inglewood and alongside the Bow River is designed to spark introspection and provide you with a fuller understanding of Truth and Reconciliation and why settler-led reconciliation matters.
Content Warning: This tour discusses some difficult subject matter, including colonial violence, child abuse, murder, and genocide.
