National judo competition takes over Calgary’s Olympic Oval

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

Every inch of the Oval has a story. Olympic champions, major events, millions of guests, and decades of multi-sport excellence—this is hallowed ground, a community landmark unlike anything else in the country.”
