Calgary Transit Proposes New Bus Route to Tsuut’ina Nation: A Step Towards Stronger Indigenous Partnerships

Calgary city officials are proposing a new bus route, Route 103, which would connect southwest neighborhoods to The Shops at Buffalo Run on Tsuut’ina Nation land. This route would be the second time Calgary Transit extends beyond city limits, following the Max Purple line extension to Chestermere in 2021. The route would run through key areas like Braeside, Canyon Meadows, Woodlands, and Woodbine along Anderson Road and Southland Drive, crossing Tsuut’ina Trail at an overpass on 130th Avenue southwest. Local leaders, including Ward 13 Councillor Dan McLean and Mayor Jeromy Farkas, support the proposal, viewing it as a means to meet shopping needs and strengthen ties with Indigenous partners. A special agreement with Tsuut’ina Nation would be required, similar to the one for the Max Purple line extension. Talks are currently active between the city, the Nation, and developers behind Buffalo Run to finalize details like timelines and cost-sharing.
