About
Tracks in Time

As sure as the North Saskatchewan flows through the heart of our City, transit flows through our communities, carrying with it the lives and stories of Edmontonians. The constant motion of where our citizens have come from and where they are headed is what forms and informs Tracks in Time—an endeavour to capture the living history of the people and places along the Valley Line LRT.

Come ride with us on this journey, as we look out at our Indigenous heritage, early Edmonton settlers, how Edmonton communities formed, what decisions shaped the Valley Line’s neighbourhoods and so much more.

We hope you enjoy the collection of stories carefully curated by the members of reVerb Communications and its City of Edmonton partners. If you would like to contribute to this collection or note a correction to be made, please reach out to info@reverbcomms.ca.

Land Acknowledgement

The City of Edmonton acknowledges the traditional land on which we reside, is in Treaty Six Territory. We would like to thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose ancestors’ footsteps have marked this territory for centuries, such as nêhiyaw (Nay-hee-yow) / Cree, Dene (Deh-neyh), Anishinaabe (Ah-nish-in-ah-bay) / Saulteaux (So-toe), Nakota Isga (Na-koh-tah ee-ska) / Nakota Sioux (Na-koh-tah sue), and Niitsitapi (Nit-si-tahp-ee) / Blackfoot peoples. We also acknowledge this as the Métis’ (May-tee) homeland and the home of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel. It is a welcoming place for all peoples who come from around the world to share Edmonton as a home. Together we call upon all of our collective, honoured traditions and spirits to work in building a great city for today and future generations.
