  • S Rockies: Mountains for All Travelers Canadian Rockies Slide Show – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster
    Canada’s Rockies: Mountains for All Travelers Canadian Rockies Slide Show – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster The magnificence of the Canadian Rockies west of Calgary, with stunning alpine scenery and massive glacial presence, appeals to a wide range of travelers. Imagine yourself in one of several travel scenarios: *Ever the adventurer, you are ferried by helicopter to remote mountain locations, where you spend the day savoring the wildflowers, knowing that few people, beyond an occasional backpacker, have ever set foot on this terrain. As the day progresses, the helicopter returns to move you to several other mountain locations, where you walk for an hour with an expert guide. In the evening the helicopter takes you and your fellow adventurers back to the comforts of a first-class resort. *Ever the student of history, you are on a well-organized motor-coach tour or on your individually planned family car trip to the grand dowagers of hotels–the Fairmont Banff Springs and the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise–both relics from the early Canadian Pacific Railway days. Within the labyrinthine layout of these grand- manner hotels, you imagine how you would have arrived, starting in the late 1880s, by rail. *Ever the appreciator of the outdoors, you gaze up at a star-filled sky from your tent or RV in one of the many mountain camps. You commune with the Cree and Blackfoot Indians who preceded you and experienced similar star-bright nights, bracing clean air, and the forest quietness, an antidote to our high-decibel modern world. Canada’s Magnificent Rockies Regardless of your travel style, the Canadian Rockies present all travelers with a shared experience, whether in the remote helicopter-only backcountry of the Bugaboos or along the easily viewed and dazzling wildflower walk at roadside Peyto Lake in Banff Park.

  • National Historic Sites in Alberta
    NATIONAL HISTORIC SITES IN ALBERTA Discover the Family of National Historic Sites in Alberta Who are we? We are the family of National Historic Sites,. Designated by the Minister of the Environment on the recommendation of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, we are places of national significance to all Canadians. There are over 900 of us, found in every province and territory across Canada. Each is unique and each tells its own compelling story. National Historic Sites in Alberta The Alberta branch of the family includes 59 National Historic Sites. We are as varied as the province itself. We are an outpost of the North-West Mounted Police, an early 20th century coalmine, and a park that contains the largest concentration of native rock art on the North American plains. A Shared Legacy The responsibility for caring for us is shared by many. Of the 59 sites in Alberta, only nine are owned by Parks Canada. Tire rest are owned by other levels of government, local organizations and businesses. Many continue in their original function - as an important public building, a grand hotel or a back country ski lodge. Many are heritage attractions and provide opportunities to learn and experience the past first hand. Come Visit the Family The following pages will introduce you to our family. Come for a visit. An adventure of discovery, learning and fun awaits you. Ride our trains, remember the feel of wet clay squishing through your fingers, mosey on up to the corral and watch cowboys roping calves, and much, much more.

  • Indigenous Peoples Open Doors Program with Métis Nation of Alberta
    Indigenous Peoples Open Doors Program with Métis Nation of Alberta What is the Indigenous Open Doors Program with Métis Nation of Alberta? The Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) has a connection to the lands and waters comprising the National Parks/National Historic Sites located in the province of Alberta. Parks Canada is proud of its Indigenous Peoples Open Doors program, which seeks to enhance relationships with Indigenous peoples by providing free access to national parks or national historic sites with which they feel a connection without undue requirements for purchasing passes or permits. Parks Canada and the MNA are proud to announce, beginning August 1, 2018, MNA citizens will have free access to National Parks and National Historic Sites located in the province of Alberta (see Annex I). How does it work? Complimentary entry, under the Indigenous Peoples Open Doors Program, requires MNA citizens to present their MNA citizenship card at National Parks/National Historic Sites located in the Province of Alberta (see Annex I). With presentation of MNA citizenship cards, Parks Canada will provide MNA citizens a park pass for the duration of their stay. As with other park passes, the park pass will have to remain in the vehicle, at all times, visible to Parks Canada staff. Accessing different parks/sites will require a new park pass each time you gain free entry. You may receive different type of passes depending of the park/site. Frequently Asked Questions Q. Do I need to go to the gate to get free entry? Yes, you need to stop at the gate of a National Park or a National Historic Site to get free access to the park/site.
