Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that Southern Alberta occupies unceded Indigenous land. We acknowledge that the Blackfoot Confederacy never surrendered their land in the signing of Treaty 7 but agreed to share it. We recognize and deeply appreciate Blackfoot peoples’ connection to this place. We acknowledge that we, as people living and benefiting on these lands, are accountable to the laws and protocols of the people who have cared for this land. It is our intention to continue learning how to honor this responsibility and relationship. Today, Southern Alberta is home to a diverse population of Indigenous peoples, which now includes Foothills Métis District 1, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples. We recognize the contributions Indigenous peoples have made, both in shaping and strengthening this community in particular.
History Of McMan
In 1975, four graduates of Grant MacEwan College opened a group home in the inner city of Edmonton. With a vision to evoke change and contribute to the community, these individuals sought to provide support to young people who required care.
This ambition ultimately resulted in the foundation of McMan Youth, Family, and Community Services Association as we know it today. Since then, the organization has evolved into a multi-regional body that serves the province of Alberta.
We are McMan South and we serve Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Brooks, Crowsnest Pass, Pincher Creek, Redcliff, Bow Island, Taber, Coaldale, Fort MacLeod, and the surrounding areas.
