**About The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland**

The confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers has been a place of significance to Indigenous peoples long before 1875, when the North-West Mounted Police established a site of colonial occupation called Fort Calgary and prepared the way for a new settler-colonial community. This place remains significant to Indigenous peoples today, and The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland now strives to provide the space and opportunity to reflect on the past and help create better paths for our future.
