Tsuut’ina Nation – Fasken is pleased to announce the opening of a new office in the professional and retail district known as Taza (/Ta-Zah/) on Tsuut’ina lands. Spanning 1,200 acres, it is planned to be the largest First Nation development project in North America that connects tenants, customers, and visitors to the Tsuut’ina Nation. Located southwest of Calgary, only 20 minutes from downtown, our new office is intended as a platform to establishing new connections between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples.
“We are pleased and excited to be opening our new office in the Taza development on the Tsuut’ina lands,” said Peter Feldberg, Firm Managing Partner. “With many projects and mandates already underway that involve consultation and relationships with Indigenous Peoples, the office presents ideal headquarters for our project teams and an opportunity for the Firm to deepen its relationships and advance Indigenous recruitment.”
“The office will serve as a welcoming space to host business discussions on these complex projects as they relate to Indigenous, environmental, regulatory, finance, real estate, tax, corporate work opportunities, and more,” said Clarke Barnes, Regional Managing Partner, Alberta.
“The opening of the new office on Tsuut’ina lands aligns with our Reconciliation goals including advancing our Indigenous cultural competencies,” said Brenden Hunter, Co-Chair, Fasken Reconciliation Implementation Committee. “We are grateful for the opportunity to form part of the economic fabric of the Taza development and to strengthen our ties with the Tsuut’ina Nation.”
Reconciliation requires us to learn more about our collective history, understand how that history continues to affect the present, and apply what we learn to our own language, conduct and actions. We believe the new location will be helpful in furthering our pro bono, advocacy, procurement, acknowledgement, and philanthropic Reconciliation Plan objectives.
