As Alberta prepares to host the 2025 G7 Leaders’ Summit in Kananaskis from June 15 to 17, select roads, campgrounds, day-use areas, and trails in the area will be temporarily closed before, during, and after the Summit.
To support the security of the G7 Summit, the RCMP will establish a controlled access zone in Kananaskis Country. Expect access restrictions, road closures, traffic detours, temporary closures and increased security presence. Some closures are already in place and may extend into July. These measures are essential for the event's success and the safety of all participants.
As the G7 Summit approaches, be sure to check for official updates on Kananaskis closures and alternative routes on the RCMP’s Integrated Safety and Security Group website and AlbertaParks.ca/Advisories. Planning ahead will help ensure you have a successful and enjoyable visit.
Many areas will still be open to visitors, but you may experience traffic delays or need to take an alternate route as Highway 40 will be closed between Mount Lorette Ponds and Galatea Day Use areas.
Alternate routes into Peter Lougheed Provincial Park and the south end of Kananaskis include:
All motorists travelling on both routes should drive with caution and be aware of potential winter weather and increased traffic going both directions. RV users should plan ahead and ensure they have experience driving in these conditions.
Please note: A Kananaskis Conservation Pass will still be required for vehicles parked at provincial park and public land sites in Kananaskis Country and the Bow Valley.
With so many options to explore, now is the perfect time to experience a new adventure. Whether you’re camping by a quiet lake, hiking to a waterfall, or riding through the foothills, Alberta Parks is ready to welcome you.
