We're a remote firm operating globally and based out of Calgary*.

*While currently known as Calgary, we are deeply connected to and operate in Moh’kinsstis (Blackfoot), Wîchîspa (Stoney Nakoda). For time immemorial, these Lands have been in reciprocal relationship with Her original caregivers: the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations), the Tsuut’ina Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda Nations (including the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Wesley First Nations). This is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, and here we exist under the Blackfoot Crossing Treaty (Treaty 7).

In an effort to acknowledge Land in practice, we take time off every season for Earth-based connection and activity.

These are questions we usually have when going through someone's contact page, too...

  • We are an incorporated business in Alberta, serving clients globally.

    ​

    We are a Black, Indigenous, queer, disabled, and woman-led organization; our leadership reflects the communities we serve, and we approach our work with lived experience, cultural understanding, and a dedication to dismantling systems of exclusion.

  • We operate with a flexible and remote-first model, meaning we do not have a public office location. If you require our mailing address for official purposes, please send us an email at info@futureancestors.ca, and we will be happy to provide it.

    ​

    This approach allows us to remain adaptable, minimize our environmental impact, and align with our commitment to sustainability and accessibility. As part of our operations, we work across different locations to meet the needs of our clients and communities while ensuring our team has the flexibility to work in ways that support well-being and productivity.

  • We operate on a 4-day work week with a flexible schedule that adapts to the needs of our clients and the season. While we don’t have traditional office hours, here’s how we generally work:

    ​

    • Emails are checked and responded to primarily on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
       

    • Mondays are our designated rest and planning days, so we typically do not work or respond to inquiries.
       

    • We coordinate with clients to find meeting and service delivery times that align with their schedules.
       

    • Once per season, we take a full week off to be intentionally on the land, prioritizing rest, reconnection, and sustainability in our work.
       

    This structure is rooted in our commitment to temporal (de)colonization, recognizing that the rigid, fast-paced work culture imposed by colonial systems is neither sustainable nor equitable. Our approach ensures that we can show up fully present, well-rested, and deeply engaged in the work we do. By aligning our operations with natural rhythms and community needs, we foster healthier work environments and create space for meaningful, lasting impact.
     

    If you have an urgent request or specific scheduling needs, we encourage you to reach out in advance, and we will do our best to accommodate.

  • We welcome you to connect with us and stay updated on our work. Here’s how you can reach out and engage with Future Ancestors Services:

 Calgary’s often-overlooked Black history is one that colonial narratives have frequently erased or diminished, but deeply informs our understanding of place. Thanks to the work of historians like Cheryl Foggo, who has unearthed stories of early Black settlers, activists, and community builders, we are reminded that Black communities have long contributed to shaping this city’s cultural and social landscape.

 

From the arrival of Black settlers fleeing racial violence in the U.S. in the early 20th century to present-day contributions, Black history in Calgary matters deeply. We honor their resilience, resistance, and legacy, knowing that their stories are essential to understanding the full history of these Lands.

Black ancestors shaped some of the best ways Calgary exists today.
