Sub-regional planning engagements

Sub-regional plans provide strategic direction to ensure environmental, economic and social needs are met in the region.

Overview

Alberta’s sub-regional plans are a key component of the province’s approach to maintaining a working landscape and supporting a broad range of land uses and values including conservation, Indigenous traditional land use, recreation and economic development. Planning will be completed for up to 14 sub-regions across the province.

Albertans will have opportunities to share feedback on the draft sub-regional plans as they are developed and released.
