Description

This resource provides guidance on air quality management to meet Alberta's commitment to implementing the national Air Quality Management System. Alberta Environment and Parks is advancing the Red Deer Regional Plan and North Saskatchewan Regional Plan, and the associated air quality management frameworks, to ensure that Alberta can meet its national commitments prior to the completion of the regional planning process. This interim approach is a collaborative performance management system developed by Environment and Parks to manage the cumulative effects of point and non-point sources on air quality in the regions. Air quality management frameworks for the Red Deer and North Saskatchewan regions developed under a regional plan will supersede this interim approach.

Description

Alberta Parks is proposing to redevelop several day use areas and a group campsite along Highway 40 between Canoe Meadows and Barrier Lake. These upgrades will address concerns regarding user conflict, ecological impacts, traffic congestion, and increased accessibility to this important water-based recreation destination. This project will also provide opportunities to address the diversity of uses in this area through stakeholder engagement to ensure facilities meet user needs effectively. This plan has been created to represent the ultimate build-out of this area. Alberta Parks recognizes that given ecological sensitivities and social carrying capacity, future facility development beyond this plan is not recommended. Comments will be collected on all aspects of this plan.
