Episode Details

Albertas government seeks public input on the future of the Ghost-Kananaskis area, a popular region with over five million annual visitors. The consultation aims to balance recreation, tourism, jobs, and conservation while supporting local and Indigenous communities. Key plans include transforming ski resorts into all-season destinations and boosting tourism to $25 billion by 2035. However, conservation groups express concerns about environmental checks and cumulative impacts from proposed resorts. Logging in the area also sparks debate, with critics questioning its necessity. Albertans can share views until June 5th at alberta.ca/ghost-kananaskis-sub-regional-plan-engagement.
