Alberta’s government has expanded Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland Provincial Park, nearly doubling the land area dedicated to conservation, recreation and supporting Indigenous People’s traditional activities.
New legislation would strengthen conservation of public lands by modernizing how Alberta’s trails are managed and improving recreation experiences for Albertans.

Albertaâs government has secured or maintained partnerships for 170 parks and public recreation area sites across the province under a model that began in 1932.
As a result, no sites included under the Budget 2020 optimization plan will be delisted. All will remain open and accessible to Albertans. All will retain their current designations and associated protections.
âMany Albertans, including myself, love and value our parks and wild spaces. With more Albertans than ever staying in the province, now is the ideal time to ensure we all have access to these spaces and that they remain protected. I am grateful for the hard work of our parks partners and look forward to keeping our parks system sustainable for future generations.â
