Walmart Is Coming to Taza: What This Means for Calgary

Calgary, get ready! Big news just dropped that’ll change our city’s southwest landscape. Walmart Canada is officially the first anchor tenant at Taza Park West, the ambitious 1,200-acre development on Tsuut’ina Nation land. This isn't just about a new store; it's a massive step towards building a vibrant urban hub that beautifully blends Tsuut'ina and Calgary cultures.

Dubbed one of North America's most influential First Nation developments, Taza — meaning "something wondrous" in Tsuut'ina — is strategically located adjacent to Calgary’s southwest border and seamlessly connected by Tsuut’ina Trail, a key part of our city’s ring road. Expected to open in 2027, the Taza Walmart Supercentre promises a serious boost, bringing local jobs and expanding access to groceries and essentials for both Tsuut'ina Nation members and surrounding Calgary communities.

This arrival comes as Calgary sees unprecedented population growth and a dynamic shift in its retail scene. With over 92,000 new residents in 2024, demand for new services and homes is soaring, especially in the expanding southwest. Walmart's commitment here is part of its huge $6.5 billion national investment, signaling confidence in our booming region. With over 50 businesses already thriving in Taza’s interconnected villages and residential construction underway, this development is poised to be a foundational piece in Calgary's future, creating a more connected and economically diverse community.
