For some reason we don't have rangers anymore in Canada (in last 20 years i've seen one on the trail, and never seen one in the backcountry and I'm out A LOT!).
I fully support using the kananasksi money to get more seasonal rangers to patrol, educate and support users of our parks.

Every time I went for a hike last year in K-country I saw an Alberta Parks truck.
