“Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul…”  --  Orison Swett Marden

Kananaskis Country is one of those rare, magical places that can leave its impress upon the soul after one visit.  People fall in love with it, pass along stories about it from generation to generation, relocate their families to be close to it, and work passionately to protect and conserve its natural beauty and heritage.

Welcome to Kananaskis Country and the new website of the Friends of Kananaskis Country. 

Our mission is to enhance, protect and share the unique natural and cultural experiences of Kananaskis Country through public participation and environmental education.
