Businesses on the Bow Valley Parkway are pushing Parks Canada to lift the voluntary seasonal closure on the scenic road, in place now for the past five years. Conservationists are pushing Parks Canada for a gated night closure to protect wildlife such as denning wolves because the optional closure is not working. But Parks Canada has no plans to do either.
