The Confluence Symposium

Presented in partnership by The Confluence and the University of Calgary, The Confluence Symposium will bring diverse experts together to discuss and reflect on the historical and contemporary impacts of colonialization on Indigenous Peoples and our society.

The symposium is one of several community events hosted by The Confluence to commemorate 150 years since the North-West Mounted Police first arrived to the land we now call Calgary and established Fort Calgary in 1875.

In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, this commemoration is not a celebration of early Calgary’s history, but an inclusive and critical reflection on the legacy of Fort Calgary and colonialism. Symposium topics will be rooted in the complex histories of the land at The Confluence. The event is meant to bring community together to broaden our collective understanding of the past and inspire active consideration for our present and future.
