Area Closures for UXO Disposal

AREA CLOSURE IN EFFECT
Please be advised that all slopes and climbing routes on Mount Macdonald and Mount Green in Glacier National Park will be CLOSED August 20 and 21, 2024. The Trans-Canada Highway will remain open.
This area closure is in place to allow for the safe disposal of unexploded ordinances (UXOs) used in avalanche control operations.
The disposal missions are taking place in remote, mountainous areas. The safety of the traveling public, visitors, staff and partners is our number one priority. Parks Canada tracks every round fired, including date and time fired, target location, and whether it detonated or not and works closely with the Department of National Defence to ensure the safe recovery of UXOs.
