Land Acknowledgement

This land has welcomed First Nations from across Turtle Island, and settlers and visitors from around the world. Alberta lands are part of Treaties 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10, and the homeland of the Métis.

Alberta Mamas respects and celebrates the sovereignty, lands, histories, languages, knowledge systems and cultures of all Indigenous, Métis, and Inuit nations. We are striving to better listen, understand, and learn from the Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing.

We are all Treaty people.

Food for School Days

Need some fresh inspiration for school day meals? We’ve rounded up some of our top tips for everything from the start of the year to those last days when you wish a simple PB&J didn’t break the allergy rules.

Camping Recipes

Cooking around the campground is a different beast. Travel stoves are slower to heat, cooking over the campfire is literally playing with fire (we couldn’t resist), and then there’s the question of perishables. We share our menus and plans to make your trip a little bit easier!
