Description

Albertans enjoy a high quality of life, and Alberta’s network of parks is a major contributor. Parks provide opportunities for active, healthy living in nature. Parks provide opportunities for learning and social connection in diverse landscapes and facilities. Finally, parks protect natural habitat and processes and provide clean air and water. Regardless of age, ability, gender, cultural background, education level, or individual perspective, time spent in nature can be an inspiring escape from the busy urban world. This document strives to create a foundation for the inclusion of all Albertans into park experiences and landscapes - from their first “experience of a lifetime” to a lifetime of experiences. This inclusion plan is a commitment that everyone is welcome in Alberta’s parks – and that everyone belongs outside.
