"Beyond the Rink: Behind the Images of Residential School Hockey" sets the record straight
The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).
The Olympic Oval
The Oval is an extraordinary place. It was built for the '88 Winter Olympics but it has become so much more—a place to connect with the community, the University and of course a high-performance sport.
