A Controlled Access Zone (CAZ) will be in place from June 10 to 18, restricting entry around key Summit venues. Accreditation will be required for access, and businesses will receive guidance to streamline the process.
The CAZ is outlined as follows:
- Northern boundary: No unauthorized vehicles past Mount Lorette Ponds, extending south along Highway 40.
- Western boundary: Heavy security along Highway 742; eastern slope hiking trails closed, while trails west of Highway 742 remain open.
- Southern boundary: No unauthorized vehicles beyond the Galatea Creek parking lot, extending north along Highway 40.
- Eastern boundary: Extends along the eastern ridgeline of Kananaskis Valley.
Two access points will be established along Highway 40. The north vehicle screening area will be 18 km south of the Highway 40 and Highway 1 junction, near Mount Lorette Ponds. The south screening area will be 10 km further south. Only authorized personnel, residents, and businesses will be permitted entry.
