Summary

The Canyon Meadows community in southwest Calgary maintains a strong bond between its residents and the land. Before early settlers arrived, Indigenous peoples relied on this land as they followed bison. European settlers came about 200 years ago, seeking to develop prosperous farms and ranches that gradually altered the landscape. Today, my community is proud to host one of the largest urban green spaces in North America, called Fish Creek Provincial Park.

Our community is one of many stewards of Fish Creek, which honours its rich history. Our connection to this land continues its legacy of preservation and resilience, with people learning to coexist with nature.
