Overview
We gathered input to help us define the vision and outcomes for a Ghost-Kananaskis Sub-regional Plan. A second phase of engagement will provide an opportunity to share feedback on a draft sub-regional plan for the area.
The Ghost-Kananaskis Sub-regional Plan will guide future land management decisions to reduce land-use conflicts and support sustainable recreation and tourism.
Sub-regional plans should provide opportunities for Albertans to work and play, improve the overall landscape, and enable Indigenous traditional land uses.
Get informed
The Ghost and Kananaskis sub-region is located west of Calgary along Alberta’s eastern slopes in the South Saskatchewan region. The area is a mix of public lands, provincial parks and protected areas supporting recreation and tourism, protection of headwaters, maintenance of biodiversity and other environmental values while also providing opportunities for forestry, grazing, and other natural resource development. The sub-region is located on Treaty 7 land.
