About This Event

The event in question is a museum admission to Fort Calgary, an important historical site. The museum offers a rich exploration of the history of the lands at Fort Calgary, with exhibits about Treaty 7, the Métis influence in Alberta, and the founding and early stages of the city of Calgary.

Visitors can also check out the replica 1888 Barracks for special exhibitions and take a self-guided audio tour of the parklands at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers. This location has been significant to Indigenous peoples since long before 1875, when the North West Mounted Police established Fort Calgary.

The museum is excited to reopen its doors and is offering a pay-what-you-can admission from May 10 to May 14. Fort Calgary is operated by the Fort Calgary Preservation Society, which aims to preserve, protect, enhance, and promote the significance of the site for the benefit of the citizens and visitors to the city of Calgary.

The confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers has been a historical and cultural gathering place for time immemorial, with origins as Mohkinsstsis (Blackfoot), Wîchîspa (Nakoda), Guts’ists’i (Tsuut’ina), and Otôskwanihk (Michif/Cree).

Essential Tips for Attending Museum Admission

Attending a museum event such as the one at Fort Calgary can be an enriching and educational experience. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

  1. What to Bring: Carry a small bag with essentials like water, snacks, and any necessary medications. If you plan to take notes or sketch, bring a notebook and pen or pencil. Don’t forget your camera or smartphone if you want to take photos, but be sure to check the museum’s photography policy.
  2. What to Wear: Dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather, as you might spend some time outside exploring the parklands. Comfortable shoes are a must as you’ll likely be on your feet for several hours.
  3. When to Arrive: Try to arrive early to avoid crowds, especially if the museum is popular. This will also give you plenty of time to explore at your own pace.
  4. Research Ahead: Look up the museum’s exhibits online before you go. This will help you decide which exhibits you’re most interested in and plan your visit accordingly.
  5. Health Precautions: Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, don’t forget to bring a mask and hand sanitizer. Check the museum’s website for any specific health and safety guidelines they may have in place.
  6. Respect the Rules: Follow all museum rules, such as not touching exhibits and keeping noise levels down. This ensures everyone can enjoy their visit.
