Our most popular program celebrates the lands at Fort Calgary and the diversity of people who have called this area home. Students build a 3D map of Calgary to learn different ways that Indigenous peoples, fur traders, settlers, and the North West Mounted Police have lived on the prairie lands at Fort Calgary throughout time.
