Walmart Store Construction at Tsuut'ina Nation - Taza Park West
Official title: Tsuut'ina Taza Park West Walmart
Walmart wants to build a large retail store on Tsuut'ina Nation land near Calgary. The project includes a 13,260 square metre building, parking for 552 cars, and a garden centre. This is an environmental review for construction on First Nations reserve land.
Why This Matters
Live near Taza Park West or shop in southwest Calgary? This Walmart could change traffic patterns and shopping options in the area. For Tsuut'ina Nation members, it means jobs and economic development on their land.
What Could Change
If approved, construction could begin on a 13,260 square metre Walmart with 552 parking spaces. The project would bring retail jobs to Tsuut'ina Nation. Construction waste must go to an off-reserve landfill.
Key Issues
- Should the Walmart construction project be approved on Tsuut'ina Nation reserve land?
- Are the environmental protections adequate for construction on First Nations land?
