In the spirit of reconciliation, ATP and Vertigo Theatre acknowledge that we live, work, and create on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta. They were the original occupants of this land and continue to be here to this day. We are grateful to have the opportunity to present in this territory.
