Ward Karhiio

Karhiio (pronounced: GAR-EE-HE-O) is a Mohawk word that means “a tall, beautiful forest” and pays tribute to the Michel Band. This name deeply resonates with Keren as her own journey working with and getting to learn about Indigenous communities in Canada began in Montréal on traditional and unceded Mohawk territory before she moved out west to Edmonton.

You can learn more about all of the new ward names here. These names reflect the diversity of Indigenous Peoples in the traditional Treaty 6 territory – the First Peoples of this land who continue to shape our vibrant communities together with settlers and newcomers from around the world.
