Mewata Armoury (also referred to as Mewata Armouries) is a Canadian Forces reserve armoury in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Mewata (/mjuˈɑːtə/ is derived from the Cree word ᒥᔭᐋᐧᑕᒼ (miyawâtam), meaning "Oh, be joyful".[1]
The building was built between 1915 and 1918 for an original cost of CA$282,051 (equivalent to $4,978,676 in 2023). The building was designed by Thomas W. Fuller (Department of Public Works Architect) and the project was supervised locally by Calgary architect Leo Dowler. The structure was actually built by A. G. Creelman Co. of Vancouver, British Columbia.
The building is at 801 11th Street SW and is still home to local Militia units, chiefly The King's Own Calgary Regiment (RCAC) and The Calgary Highlanders, but also 15 (Edmonton) Field Ambulance Detachment Calgary, the 41 Canadian Brigade Group Influence Activities Company (attached to the King's Own Calgary Regiment) and various cadet organizations.
