Vice-Chair
National Trust & Issues Strategist, Aboriginal Portfolio, City of Calgary
Lorna Crowshoe is a Piikani First Nations member from Southern Alberta who maintains strong ties to her Blackfoot community. Lorna has a Bachelor’s of Management Degree from the University of Lethbridge and a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix. Lorna works for the City of Calgary as an Issues Strategist. She has spent most of her professional career with non-profit organizations and government, where she has been involved in a range of culturally motivated projects,
including Making of Treaty 7, University of Calgary’s Spopi Solar Home Project, and the Calgary Poverty Reduction Initiative. She provided leadership to two significant reports for the City of Calgary;
the Indigenous Policy and Indigenous Policy Framework, and the Truth and Reconciliation White Goose Flying Report.
Lorna’s interests include enhancing ways in which Indigenous land acknowledgments occur, and seeking a more diverse and inclusive perspective on heritage, and where Indigenous oral stories are
a growing part of the landscape of Canada’s history. Lorna is very proud of her family genealogy project that goes back eight generations when her ancestors were fiercely protecting the south entrance to Blackfoot Territory just before the signing of Treaty 7. In her personal life, she takes time to visit First Nations heritage sites in southern Alberta.
