About the project

The Medicine Hill Regional Park project will provide an opportunity to protect land with cultural, archaeological, and ecological significance, while creating a regional park that shapes a landscape of connection and education for all who visit. Few places in Calgary show this degree of significance and our team recognizes that Medicine Hill is truly unique.

We have learned that Medicine Hill (Aiss ka pooma, Pagaspu, Piskapo, Paskapoo Slopes) is an important site for the local Indigenous Nations and this project involves engaging with the Treaty 7 First Nations and Métis to better understand the cultural significance.

The Medicine Hill Regional Park project will be developed using a phased approach which is expected to extend over several years. The first phase of the project will include the development of a master plan for the future regional park. We anticipate the master plan to be completed in 2026.

The purpose of developing the Medicine Hill Regional Park Master Plan is to create a blueprint for how the future park will be realized over the next decade and beyond. The master plan may include more formalized trails, educational opportunities, improved signage and wayfinding, as well as feedback and considerations gathered from Indigenous and public engagement.
