In the spirit of reconciliation, we honour and acknowledge that we live, work and recreate on the traditional Treaty 7 territories of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) Nations of Chiniki, Wesley, and Bearspaw, as well as the the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy comprised of the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta. We honour and celebrate this territory and commit to working to live in right relations and to advance Truth and Reconciliation.

Darken the Mountains
Bringing inclusivity to outdoor spaces, I aim to work within my communities of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) and Allies to create a safe and inviting community and challenging the “norm”.
