Kananaskis Country Provincial Recreation Areas
and Bragg Creek Provincial Park
Draft Management Plans - Public Consultation

 Updated: Nov. 10, 2008

What is a provincial
recreation area?
Provincial recreation areas are typically small land bases that serve as campgrounds and trail-heads for the surrounding landscape.

What is a provincial park?
Provincial parks protect Alberta's natural and cultural landscapes and features, while at the same time providing a broad range of outdoor recreational opportunities and educational programs.

Alberta Tourism, Parks, and Recreationreleased a draft management plan for the 50 existing provincial recreation areas within the Kananaskis Country management area and a draft management plan for Bragg Creek Provincial Park. These plans set out recreational, conservation and educational opportunities, and goals for the parks' future.

Public review and comment were encouraged on these plans from June 20, 2008 to September 30, 2008. Thank you to all who provided comments on the draft management plans for these parks.  The comments received are currently being reviewed and the final drafts of the management plans are being prepared. 

While the public comment period has ended, copies of the draft management plan(52 pages | 1.27 mb) are still available for download.  Once approved, the final management plans for the Kananaskis Country Provincial Recreation Areas and Bragg Creek Provincial Park will be posted on this website. 

This website will be updated as new information becomes available. Please check back often for updates.
