In 2002, the cellphone signal vanished as soon as you drove into Kananaskis. That remote beauty—unplugged, unpolished, and unmistakably Canadian—was exactly what made it the perfect site for a global summit. Now, as the world returns for the 2025 G7, Kananaskis offers something rare: a destination that has grown smarter, more sustainable, and more welcoming […]
Tucked in the heart of Kananaskis Country, Fortress Mountain is where backcountry adventure meets cinematic grandeur.

While the ski lifts no longer run […]
Towering above Kananaskis Village, Mt. Kidd is more than a landmark—it’s a storyteller in stone. Named after William Kidd, a 19th-century surveyor (no, not the pirate!), the mountain has inspired generations of visitors and locals alike. Its twin peaks often shrouded in mist, Mt. Kidd has long been the backdrop for local legends, whispered tales, […]

Canada has long played a role in global environmental dialogue—but never with a backdrop quite like this. In Kananaskis, the climate conversation lives in the trees, the glacier-fed rivers, and the protected valleys that surround every step. This isn’t just a political statement—it’s a place-based reminder of what’s at stake and what’s possible. Here, conversations […]
When Kananaskis hosted the G8 Summit in 2002, it was known mostly to skiers, hikers, and the occasional policy wonk.

As it prepares to once again welcome […]
