Jasper House Métis District recently attended an information session regarding the proposed All-Season Resort in the Grande Cache area.

Greenview is exploring having Crown land near Grande Cache considered by the Province of Alberta for designation as an All-Season Resort Area. This designation does not approve a resort or authorize construction, but we believe it is important that our community has a voice early in the process.

We want to hear from our citizens about the proposed area shown on the map.

Have you or your family traditionally used these lands? Are there areas important for:

🌿 Harvesting, berry picking or gathering
🦌 Hunting
🎣 Fishing
🪤 Trapping
🌱 Medicinal plants
🏕️ Camping or traditional travel routes
🧡 Cultural or historically significant places

We also want to hear your thoughts on the potential socio-economic impacts — both opportunities and concerns — including local employment, business opportunities, tourism, infrastructure, housing and how increased development could affect Grande Cache and surrounding communities.

Your knowledge and experiences matter. Please share your thoughts, concerns or questions in the comments or reach out to Jasper House Métis District directly.

No artistic experience is required, just an openness to create, reflect, and explore together
