Today marks a major milestone for both Volkswagen Canada and Indigenous communities nationwide. Taza Park Volkswagen has officially opened its doors, becoming the first-ever Volkswagen dealership located on Indigenous land.
Located within the Tsuut’ina Nation near Calgary, Alberta, the brand-new facility isn’t just another dealership — it’s the largest Volkswagen showroom in Western Canada and a model for future collaborations between major corporations and Indigenous nations.
A New Era for Automotive Retail and Indigenous Partnerships
The Taza Park Volkswagen project is a groundbreaking partnership between Volkswagen Canada, the Tsuut’ina Nation, and the Wood Automotive Group. The 45,000-square-foot dealership represents more than a business expansion; it’s a symbol of economic growth, respect for culture, and community empowerment.
To honor the Tsuut’ina people and their heritage, the dealership proudly features Indigenous design elements, including a “Welcome Wall” displaying the Dene language. This respectful nod acknowledges the land’s deep cultural roots and creates a welcoming space that bridges tradition and innovation.
