Kananaskis Country, AB – 2008

Kananaskis Country is comprised of over 4,000 square kilometres of Rocky Mountain wilderness, evergreen valleys, lakes, streams and high alpine mountain landscape. In the 1970’s Lombard North Group provided complete inventory and analysis, consultation and full design services for the initial development of a multitude of campgrounds, day use areas, back country trails, and trailhead facilities in the area. Thirty years later, Lombard North was commissioned by Alberta Parks to undertake an evaluation of some of the front country facilities, and to develop a conceptual refurbishment master plan and detailed designs for the long term revitalization of nine separate day use areas and campgrounds the area.

Fish Creek Provincial Park, AB – 2008

Lombard North Group was commissioned by the Alberta Parks to conduct a study that was intended to access the feasibility of reconstructing the Sikome Lake swimming facilities in order to create a more family oriented water park. However, as the assessment progressed, the scope of the study evolved and broadened to become a more comprehensive review of the facility as a whole. Its ultimate purpose was to provide an overview of current conditions and operational challenges, and to make recommendations for a long term redevelopment program that would help to ensure Sikome’s viability as a recreational facility for families.

Medicine Hat Region – 2007

Cypress Hills Provincial Park is located 80 kilometers southeast of Medicine Hat Alberta and has a long-standing history of recreational use. After years of intense use, many of the facilities in the park were in need of repair and improvement in order to respond to changing needs and interests of the public.  Lombard North was commissioned to undertake a detailed assessment of existing facilities and infrastructure within six campgrounds located near the Elkwater Townsite, and to prepare long range plans for their improvement.  Working with that assessment and Parks staff, Lombard North developed a detailed long range master plan for the phased upgrade of existing campgrounds and day use facilities, and the construction of new campground loops, trails, and infrastructure.
