Naturally Protected: The Kananaskis Landscape

Categories: G7 2025 – Kananaskis Summit Stories

“Kananaskis isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a fortress of nature and foresight.”

In 2025, the eyes of the world will once again turn to Kananaskis as it hosts the G7 Summit. Chosen for its remarkable combination of natural beauty and strategic seclusion, this alpine region offers more than a photogenic backdrop—it offers protection. Situated in a remote valley with limited access routes and no through-town traffic, Kananaskis provides the kind of security few destinations can match.
But its appeal doesn’t stop at safety. With more than 4,000 square kilometres of protected parkland, Kananaskis is a model for how tourism and preservation can coexist. Created in 1978 as a multi-use conservation area, it was designed to safeguard wilderness while offering world-class recreation. As global leaders gather to shape the future, they’ll do so in a place that embodies resilience, responsibility, and respect for nature.
