The RCMP-led Integrated Safety and Security Group (ISSG) has confirmed that most G7-related restrictions have been lifted, with airspace, highway, and demonstration zone controls now terminated.
As of 12:00 p.m. On Wednesday, the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) and all airspace restrictions related to the G7 Summit were officially lifted. The Controlled Access Zone (CAZ) surrounding key summit venues was deactivated at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday.
“Accreditation is no longer required for entry into these areas,” the ISSG stated. “Motorized vehicles can now access Highway 40 from the intersection on Highway 1 to the north winter closure gate at the junction of the Kananaskis Lakes Trail.”
The G7-designated demonstration zones in Calgary and Banff are also no longer in effect.
Calgary Police confirmed Wednesday that the Airport Trail N.E. tunnel has reopened, following a multi-day closure tied to VIP convoys and airport security measures.
Highwood Pass—closed as part of summit security protocols—will reopen to all vehicle traffic on Saturday, June 21.
Alberta Parks continues to implement a phased reopening of day use areas, trailheads and other access points in Kananaskis Country. Some sites will remain closed temporarily to allow for environmental restoration and safety checks.
As foreign dignitaries continue to depart Alberta, the ISSG said some visible security presence may remain for several days while crews dismantle equipment and complete site cleanup.
