dc.description.abstractChina is developing a modem, advanced blue water navy capable of projecting power over the horizon and across oceans. Building on a foundation of unique strategic heritage and military history, China is in the midst of a significant shift in strategy. Determined to retain its historical position of primacy in the region, and bolstered by a burgeoning economy, China's navy is the leading edge of a modem reformation. Beijing requires a fleet capable of protecting far-flung lines of communication and shipping lanes that deliver sustained economic growth. As such, the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is undertaking a dramatic modernization accompanied by a bold new strategic vision - the PLAN as a blue water navy.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
