CALGARY The provincial government anticipates another busy season in Kananaskis Country as the pandemic and travel restrictions keeps Albertans close to home, and officials are expected to announce initiatives to benefit future use of the provincial park. More than five million people visited the park in 2020, exceeding the four million average annual visits to Banff National Park. In a blog post, Alberta Parks says the increased activity has led to issues with inexperienced hikers and campers, garbage and litter, traffic congestion, parking issues and vandalism. There have been calls for increased enforcement to ensure visitors stick to the trails, keep their dogs on a leash, and clean up their sites before leaving.
