Advanced city partnership and site negotiations; positioned project for major funding investment.

Larkspur developed the comprehensive business case and financial operating model for Calgary’s future Indigenous Gathering Place — a long-awaited cultural and ceremonial space for Indigenous peoples in Moh’kinsstis. The work included designing revenue and program models for social enterprise, cultural programming, event spaces, and community healing activities; aligning the project with municipal and federal priorities; and supporting land and partnership negotiations with the City of Calgary. The business case has been foundational in moving the project from concept toward realization, ensuring it is both culturally grounded and financially sustainable.

Larkspur Projects is located in Calgary, on the ancestral and traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy — the Niitsitapi peoples, including the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, and Amskapi Piikani. We also acknowledge the shared lands of the Tsuut’ina (Dene) and the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney) Nations — Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney. This is also the homeland of the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, including Métis Nation Battle River Territory, Districts 5 and 6.
 

The place we now call Calgary has long been known as Moh’kins’tsis by the Blackfoot, Guts’ists’i by the Tsuut’ina, and Wîchîspa by the Îyârhe Nakoda. We recognize, honour, and give thanks to the original caretakers of this land, and commit ourselves to building respectful relationships with the peoples whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to shape this place.
