Land Acknowledgement
On behalf of the Chief Electoral Officer of Alberta and all people who work at Elections Alberta, we acknowledge the traditional homeland of the many diverse First Nations and Métis peoples whose footsteps have marked this land for time immemorial and with whom we share this great land today. We also wish to acknowledge all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples who reside here away from their traditional communities.
We are grateful to work and live upon this territory together and for the means to learn from all the traditional peoples of these lands as we move forward together in reconciliation.
It is our commitment to all Indigenous peoples to work together to build strong and positive relationships: improving access to voting, removing barriers, alleviating challenges, and empowering Indigenous voices in democratic processes.
