Defending Alberta’s Parks Together
Getting out to our parks and wild spaces has been a saving grace for many Albertans during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the rising demand for outdoor recreation, the Alberta government is still set on removing and/or closing 175 provincial parks across the province – that’s 37% of all our provincial parks! Since this decision was announced in March 2020, it has been met with a massive public opposition.
