In 2013, heavy rains in southern Alberta caused flooding along the Bow River that resulted in damage to facilities in the Kananaskis Region, including the Three Sisters campground. As a result of flood damage, Alberta Parks proposed to remove Three Sisters campground infrastructure and establish a day use facility at the site (Proposal).
Alberta Parks conducted public consultation on the Proposal from November 14, 2016 to February 13, 2017. As part of consultation, Alberta Parks hosted a public information session on February 1, 2017 in Canmore. Based on further assessment during the consultation process, Alberta Parks is not proceeding with the Proposal due to feedback received on campground capacity; social impact; economic impact; flood hazard; and wildlife data. Instead, Alberta Parks will restore flood affected sites at the Three Sisters Campground (Project).
The Project will now include:
Based on results from the monitoring, Alberta Parks may assess the future operation of the campground.
