2025 Alberta Plan for Parks Draft - TIAA Comments

The Tourism Industry Association of Alberta (TIAA) submitted a response to the Government of Alberta's Draft Plan for Parks, urging the province to adopt a more inclusive, growth-oriented vision. While supporting strict environmental standards, TIAA highlighted that the draft relied on outdated data and overly restrictive management. It failed to reflect Alberta’s rapid population growth and shifting demographics, largely missing the voices of urban dwellers, newcomers, and diverse user groups. TIAA advocated for strategic infrastructure investments, data-driven planning, and a balanced approach that integrated ecological stewardship with recreation, wellness, and Alberta's vibrant visitor economy.
