“In the shadow of Mt. Kidd, global leaders return to the only G7 site that feels like a sanctuary.”
In 2002, the world gathered in Kananaskis for the G8—a summit unlike any before it. Tucked into the heart of Alberta’s protected provincial parks, this remote mountain location signaled a shift: from big-city showcases to intimate, nature-immersed diplomacy. Now, over 20 years later, the world returns. The 2025 G7 Summit in Kananaskis is more than a repeat—it’s a statement. A reaffirmation that global cooperation can thrive far from marble halls and high-security capitals. In the shadow of Mt. Kidd, leaders will again talk peace, climate, and prosperity—reminded by their surroundings of what’s truly at stake. This story is about place, memory, and the mountain legacy that continues to shape international dialogue.
