Welcome to Strathcona

You are Welcome Here!

Strathcona Centre Community League seeks to create safe and welcoming spaces for all community members. 

If you would like to speak more with us about being welcome in Old Strathcona, please contact us at diversity@strathconacommunity.ca.

Strathcona Community League is located in Amiskwaciwâskahikan ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Edmonton) on Treaty 6 territory and Region 4 of the Métis Nation of Alberta. We honour both the history and the continuing presence of the diverse Indigenous peoples of this place, in particular the local Papaschase First Nation as well as the many other communities of Nehiyawak, Nakota Sioux, Dene, Tsuut’ina, Anishnaabe, Niitsitapi and also Inuit and other Indigenous citizens living here today. We extend our appreciation for the opportunity to live and build community on this territory.

This is a living and evolving acknowledgment. We are making efforts to unlearn and learn in order to improve our relationship to the people and physical presence of this space. We welcome knowledge and ideas from all community members in Old Strathcona to make efforts towards a continued improvement in our relationships.
