Welcome to the RPG ALLIANCE Convention!

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge Moh’kinsstis, and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the Northwest Métis homeland. Finally, We are grateful for the opportunity to work on this land and call it our home. We know that this work does not end with acknowledgements but that it starts with each of us making the commitment to listen, learn, and act as called upon by the communities we live in and alongside.

In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, we are grateful to be supporting the Skipping Stone as part of our 2026 Charity Drive.

Skipping Stone began as a grassroots campaign for affirming healthcare and has grown into one of the most respected Two-Spirit, trans and gender diverse organizations in Canada. Today they are a nationally recognized organization, serving all of Alberta, and have supported over 10,000 community members across over 30 communities.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - Sept. 30

Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

Orange Shirt Day - Sept. 30

(From the CBC) September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day established by the Canadian government in 2021 to honour survivors and those who never returned home from residential schools.

It's also Orange Shirt Day. In fact, it was Orange Shirt Day before it was anything else.

That's the message Phyllis Webstad, the creator of Orange Shirt Day, wants Canadians to remember on Sept. 30 each year.

Webstad is a residential school survivor. She was forced to attend St. Joseph's Mission, an institution near Williams Lake, B.C., at the age of six. Her grandmother gave her a new orange shirt to mark the occasion, but it — along with the rest of her clothing — was taken away as soon as she arrived at residential school.
