There is something truly special about Kananaskis Country that inspires Albertans and visitors to explore its wonder. For over 25 years, the Friends of Kananaskis Country’s programs have provided opportunities for people to give back to the trails and wild spaces they love, and help others to experience a meaningful connection with Kananaskis Country. This year, our superstar volunteers have contributed over 3,000 hours to Kananaskis Country!
Now you can show your trail love with a donation to the Friends of Kananaskis Country.
“For generations our families have enjoyed the majestic beauty and exhilaration of being out in the mountains. When we heard of FKC, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to help preserve this special place.
We can honestly say it has been one of the most fun and rewarding volunteering activities that we have done. We get to spend time in nature, learn what it takes to create and maintain those amazing trails, while meeting fantastic people and giving back to something we always loved.”
– Anne & Chris Kean, Volunteers
“Friends of Kananaskis Country helps to maintain outdoor resources used by enormous numbers of Albertans, Canadians and international visitors. Beyond this, FKC has a central role in ensuring that we do not take for granted the Kananaskis resource and maintain it for the future.
FKC fosters a community of people who care enough about Kananaskis to put their time into caring for its facilities. These volunteers are therefore motivated to look out for and speak out for the needs of Kananaskis Country.”
