The Bow River Basin as a part of the South Saskatchewan Region Plan (SSRP) has a vibrant paddling community and a world-class sport fishery but has not received the provincial government recognition it deserves. Each year the river recreation community contributes over $120 million to the local community but without the support of the government, there will be a shortfall of river recreation infrastructure in the coming years. Entrenching the economic importance of river recreation into the SSRP will drive a commitment to expand infrastructure to a socially important sector of our community.

The SSRP – 10-year review.
The Land Use Secretariat is gathering feedback to help evaluate whether the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan remains relevant for the region and how effective it has been. Established in 2014 and amended in 2017 and 2018, the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan guides the Alberta government’s environmental management, addresses growth pressures, and supports economic development in the South Saskatchewan Region. The 10-year review is required under the Alberta Land Stewardship Act and will consider the ongoing relevancy and effectiveness of the plan.
