We acknowledge that the land on which Edmonton is built is Treaty Six Territory. We thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose footsteps have marked this territory for centuries, such as nêhiyaw (Cree), Dené, Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Nakota Isga (Nakota Sioux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) peoples. We also acknowledge this as the Métis homeland and the home of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel. It is a welcoming place for all peoples who come from around the world to share Edmonton as a home. It is important that we not only recognize our shared histories, but also each other's contributions to establishing the built heritage of Edmonton and Area.

Ramsay Heights

Just south of Riverbend, Ramsay Heights offers a panoramic view of the city to the residents of single-family and multi-family homes. Designed around a central educational and recreational site, area inhabitants -- a high proportion of whom are in their 30s and 40s -- are linked to the city's major commercial and employment centres by the Whitemud Freeway.
