We acknowledge those who came here as settlers – as migrants either in this generation or in generations past – and those who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery. We pay tribute to those ancestors of African origin and descent.​
Black Settlers Acknowledgment
We also acknowledge the ancestral Black people who came before and settled in Wildwood, Campsie, Breton, Amber Valley, here in Alberta. They endured hardships and paved the way for the arrival of many African communities. Without their sacrifice, opportunities for many recent African communities would not be the same.
