Land Acknowledgement At Tourism Medicine Hat we acknowledge that Southern Alberta is situated on traditional lands of the Siksika (Blackfoot), Kainai (blood), Pikani (Peigan), Stoney- Nakoda, and Tsuut`ina (Sarcee) as well as the Cree, Sioux and the Saulteaux bands of the Ojibwa peoples. This region includes Metis Region 3. We are here, right now. We live on and benefit from these lands, and hold ourselves accountable to the laws, protocols and relationships of the people who have cared for this land. We seek to continue opening space for mindful

dialogue and learning with those we partner with, work with and those we host in Southeastern Alberta. We will strive to learn continually, and in doing so we recognize that we will make mistakes. We commit to owning those mistakes, taking responsibility for them and learning from them. Tourism Medicine Hat is committed to action and justice and as a shared endeavour, we aim to create a healthier, equitable, and just future.
