WELCOME TO INGLEWOOD Quirky Inglewood is home to shops selling vintage furniture, indie fashion and rare vinyl, and offers an eclectic dining scene spanning Vietnamese, Mediterranean and modern Canadian cuisine. The Esker Foundation and indie galleries show contemporary art, while city history is chronicled at the 1875-built Fort Calgary. Music venues like Festival Hall stage folk and alternative gigs. History Inglewood is an urban neighbourhood in central Calgary, Alberta, Canada, centred on 9th Avenue SE for several blocks east of the Elbow River and downtown. It also contains the Business Revitalization Zone of Inglewood. Inglewood has the distinction of being Calgary's oldest neighbourhood and it is immediately across the Elbow river from Fort Calgary. The community was established in 1875 after the fort was built. THE COMMUNITY History It was developed by a group headed by Acheson Irvine, Major John Stewart and James Macleod. Ninth Avenue (formerly Atlantic Avenue) was probably the first "main street" in the city. Today, the neighbourhood is a shopping and arts district. It is also home to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, an urban wildlife refuge. Originally known as East Calgary or Brewery Flats, the community was not officially given the name Inglewood until 1911, when it was named after the nearby homestead established by Col. James Walker. (Walker also was responsible for setting aside the lands later used by the bird sanctuary). About... The district of Inglewood contains or is adjacent to a number of tourist attractions including Fort Calgary Historic Park, the Calgary Zoo, and the historic Deane House. The north boundary of the district is lined by the Bow River pathway. Today, Inglewood promotes an arts and culture-filled district with more than 100 shops, boutiques, eateries and a host of breweries attracting locals and tourists alike. It has been referred to as Calgary's hub of local music thanks to venues like the Ironwood Stage and Grill (formerly The Garry Theatre), The Blues Can, and the headquarters for the Calgary International Folk Festival. Inglewood is also home to Sunfest, a one-day affair that attracts more than 30,000 people to the community for activities such as outdoor shopping, live musical performances and a country-themed celebrity pie-eating competition. Sunfest is generally held on the last Saturday in July each year. Since 2007, Inglewood has hosted the Bleak Midwinter Film Festival, founded by Inglewood residents Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis. Additionally, the neighbourhood is home to the Calgary International Fringe Festival, the International Festival of Animated Objects and numerous stage performances, live music acts and art exhibitions throughout the year. THE COMMUNITY About... Since Inglewood is in an environmentally sensitive area at the confluence of the Elbow and the Bow rivers, it is also home to several nature preserves. These include the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, the Bow Habitat Station, Inglewood Wildlands Park, and the Sam Livingston Fish Hatchery. Another attraction of Inglewood, is the direct access via 9th Ave to downtown Calgary, Deerfoot Trail and International Avenue (17 Ave SE). Recreational Inglewood is also home to the Inglewood Aquatic Centre. This facility was built and opened in 1963 originally as an outdoor pool. Several years later it was enclosed so that it would be usable year-round. The land for the site of this swimming pool was donated to the City of Calgary by the Calgary Brewing and Malting Company Limited. THE COMMUNITY About...

  • Harry M. Sanders Truth and Reconciliation Notes for Ward 9
    HARRY M. SANDERS TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION NOTES FOR WARD 9 1. Introduction In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) released its final report, titled Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future. The commission and its report ​ ​ addressed the damaging legacy of the residential school system and the policy behind it, which the report described as “cultural genocide.” At that time, City Council directed the Calgary Aboriginal Urban Affairs Committee to craft a response, which was published in 2016 as White Goose Flying: A Report to Calgary City Council on the Indian Residential School ​ Truth and Reconciliation—Calls to Action. In this context, Ward 9 Councillor Gian-Carlo ​ Carra concluded that a local-level response from his ward office would also be appropriate. Notably, Ward 9 includes the former site of the Calgary Indian Industrial School, an Anglican residential school that operated between 1896 and 1907. One of its students was Jack White Goose Flying (ca. 1878–1899), a Peigan teenager who died at the school and was the only student to be buried on its campus. The White Goose Flying ​ report was named for him. Councillor Carra tasked the author with examining evidence and reporting on the known associations of indigenous peoples with the area that comprises Ward 9. Using archival and published sources, archaeological reports, original research in newspaper accounts, and consultation with archaeologist Brian Vivian (a senior partner with Lifeways of Canada), the author has identified some of those associations, which have been categorized as follows: ● Indigenous peoples’ occupation/use of the land before contact/settlement (addressed below through archaeological evidence) ● Associations, including those of Métis people, following non-indigenous settlement/development (addressed below through written historical evidence and published sources) ● Names applied to natural features, built structures, neighbourhoods, etc.
