“A summit destination shaped by resilience—and framed by wilderness.”
When Kananaskis hosted the G8 Summit in 2002, it was known mostly to skiers, hikers, and the occasional policy wonk. Today, it’s a model for thoughtful tourism development—complete with a four-star lodge, a Nordic spa, revamped golf course, and a new wave of Indigenous- and guide-led outdoor experiences. As it prepares to once again welcome global leaders, Kananaskis tells a compelling story of resilience, renewal, and reinvention—all set to a backdrop of unchanging, untamed beauty.
