Yes. Taza community villages are for everyone.

Yes. Taza Park will have green space for dogs and their people. Four public green spaces will have designated pet zones, and residents will generally be within a 10-minute walk of one of these zones.

Taza was created to support the long-term socioeconomic well-being of the Tsuut’ina Nation. Through the Employment Resource Centre, we support employment opportunities and career development for Tsuut’ina citizens by offering guidance, sharing opportunities, and connecting individuals with paid training, skill development, mentorship and apprenticeship programs. Additionally, Taza’s Tsuut’ina Benefit Driven Procurement Strategy encourages collaboration with Tsuut’ina contractors and businesses, opening doors for economic opportunities.

The partnership is overseen by a Board of Directors with representatives from both entities (Tsuut’ina Nation and Canderel), requiring unanimous agreement for all decisions. This collaboration sets a new standard for Indigenous community development.

In 2025, villa, townhome and condo options will open in Taza Park. For builder announcements, news and progress updates, sign up for our newsletter.

Yes, Taza uses a leasehold model. That’s because it’s on First Nations land, which can’t be sold. Other communities in Alberta are leasehold, such as the townsite of Redwood Meadows and Calgary’s University District. Residential living spaces in Taza will be leased on 99-year terms.

Taza offers a pre-paid 99-year lease model to ensure marketable and financeable leasehold condominiums with a clear renewal process. The Headlease is with the Crown and upon renewal (no less than five years prior to the end of lease term in 2114), one of two options will be exercised; an extension is granted for no less than 25 years, or the Nation buys the homeowner out at fair market value for their unit.

Like freeholders, leaseholders have property rights and access to well-maintained infrastructure. Leaseholders can sell or renovate their homes and enjoy the use of common areas. Their property has the potential for value appreciation or depreciation over time.

Essential services are provided by Tsuut’ina Public Works, including park maintenance, waste disposal and emergency services. These services are supported by competitive tax funding, ensuring their accessibility and reliability. Tsuut’ina Nation also provides potable water, wastewater treatment, road maintenance, fire protection and policing by the Tsuut’ina Nation Fire & Rescue Service and the Tosguna Police.
