City council to host its first Indigenous-focused regular meeting Monday

An update on a permanent memorial for residential school survivors, an Indigenous gathering place and other reports are on the agenda

Calgary city council is expected to receive several Indigenous-focused recommendations and updates from administration on Monday.

The agenda includes an update on the permanent memorial for residential school survivors, which is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2025.

On Sept. 30, 2023, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the city announced officially that The Confluence (previously Fort Calgary) would become home to a permanent residential school memorial — the top choice among the Indigenous people consulted.
