All residents of this province are entitled to a high quality of life, and this includes the ability to access, use and enjoy parks and park programs.

In recent years, actions have been taken to change this trend. In June 2006, Inclusion Strategy One: Persons with Disabilities in Alberta Parks and Protected Areas was developed. The result of dialogue with persons with disabilities, Parks Division staff and education researchers, this strategy laid the foundation for more initiatives dedicated to inviting other non-traditional user groups to enjoy all that our provincial parks have to offer.
