Both the NDP and UCP have pledged funding to improve access to Alberta’s parks, including creating more campsites.
In an announcement Saturday, the NDP promised to scrap the Kananaskis Pass (K-Pass).
“We can’t take these beautiful places for granted, we have to protect them, invest in them, and keep them affordable,” said Joe Ceci, the NDP candidate for Calgary-Buffalo.
Ceci adds his party will make access to parks more affordable regardless of income.
“We will scrap the UCP’s K-Pass, and restore Kananaskis Country to former Premier Lougheed’s vision of a place where all Albertans, regardless of income, can enjoy time with their families in nature,” Ceci said.
The pass was introduced by the UCP in 2021, where visitors were charged to enter Kananaskis Country. The revenue from the pass is used for conservation and upkeep of services.
The NDP says they’d maintain funding.
Danielle Smith and the UCP are still hiding their costing, less than two weeks before the election.
Enough is enough. The Alberta NDP is going to cut costs on your utility bills through a rate cap — saving you hundreds. That’s more money back in your pockets.
His words: “Maybe if someone had to pay for that, they’d think twice about going to the emergency.” This video was shot on May 8th.
