“Please let me show you my bus that I was driving after the G7,” says the driver.
Willi Mair goes around the coach, which is the Prevost of the late model of Canada. It is denoted by the name of the company, Sunshine Coach and painted with three sunset red and golden yellow slices.
He reinforces the bus entrance and leans on the driver. The coach has all the amenities, MAIR notes – he can lower the front so that older people can arrive on board. For safety, it is seat belts. There is a washing room on the back.
“And that is, of course,… air conditioned,” he proudly concludes.
Just a few days ago, the Mair’s bus was full of RCMP officers going to the G7 Summit. They were not in uniform, but they came with heavy bags. Mair, who likes to help passengers load luggage, was amazed at their weight.
“I was afraid that when I lifted, I took off the handle,” he said.
But the officers were very nice. Casual.
“And I guess I think.”
Tuesday was the first day in a controlled access area came into effect Kananaskis in the region before the G7 Summit – a gathering of leaders from the seven world progressive economies. The summit in the area has given a significantly enhanced police and military presence.
Watch Here’s what the new Kananaskis G7 security perimeter looks like:
The RCMP has created a secure “controlled access area” around the village of Kananaskis before the G7 summit from there from 15 to 17 June. The CBC Acton Clarkin and Joel Dryden went to the zone border to find out what is limited and learn more about the final summit security preparation.
Now that the area has entered into force, only security officials and employees from Calgary International Airport to Stoney Nakoda resort and casinos are run by MAIR, just over 25 kilometers from the summit.
White tents in the casino game host with vehicle screening and acts as a passenger switching point. The searched vehicles are accompanied by a controlled access area. Other passengers are moved in pre -cleared buses.
“This is, of course, a big hoopla,” Mair said. “But it must be this way.”
Police forces come to Alberta to support
The BearSpaw Kananaskis Travel Center is located in the next parking lot from Stoney Nakoda resort and casino. Ellain Benjamin is working on the front cheap.
Being just outside the road leading delegates to a controlled access area means that these employees see a lot – army helicopters, jets and police from all over the country.
“I think it’s amusing, entertaining. It’s definitely something different. I got nonsense yesterday and asked where their jurisdiction is,” Benjamin said.
The safety of the event is led by an integrated group, which includes RCMP, Calgary Police Service, Albert Sheriff, Albert’s Defense officers and Canadian armed forces, as well as other police services from all over the country, including Edmonton, Winnipeg and Tsuut’ina Nation Service.
These forces are instructed to handle what officials have called the “major domestic security operation”, which the country can take on, with more advanced technological threats, including drones.
Other threats are those who are more familiar in the outdoor Albertani.
Some of them view a trip to the road to a controlled access area. Sign on the roadside recommends motorists that the Hearing of the National Park Fire Danger is now classified as “extreme”. Not far from the blockade near the top of the top, the bear is seen scratching the dense triple.
Officials have stated that they are working to reduce the contact of wild people. In 2002, when the last time the leaders’ summit took place, the bear was calmed down and later killed after it was too close to the leadership site.
Near Wasootch Ridge TrailHead police vehicles are tempting motorists asking them to lower their windows. From here, accreditation is mandatory for anyone who wants to have a controlled access area.
Some want to return to natural spaces
The region will remain this way, locked until June 18. For those locals who have come to consider the Canbidki as a resignation of everyday life, the disorder cannot end soon enough.
The Galatea Daily Use Area, Mount Lorette Ponds and Little Loughed Trail are one of several recreational areas out of limitations until the top is wrapped.
“It has closed all my favorite places,” said Nalyn Hill, who visits the area with his dog almost every weekend with his dog. “I like to take him to Lorette Pond Mountain, especially … Everything was blocked. So it’s very depressed.”
Although the leaders will be in the village of Kananaskis itself, the disorder is not just about the Kananaskis region. Calgary, Banfs and the neighborhood play media and support teams from around the world.
In Banf, the international media will gather at the center of Banf’s Art and Creativity. Preparation on Tuesday took place fully when crews tested technology and set up station journalists to provide their live reports.
Soon the managers will arrive in the village of Kananaskis, the International Media Center will be busy with activity, and the nearby place at the Fenlands Banff recreation center will be open to those who want to protest.
Janice Hagel, who took a break from a bicycle trip outside the rest center on Tuesday, said she thought security measures are needed taking into account the scale of the event.
But she adds that she watches the results of the peak closely.
“I’m interested in what they will talk about,” she said. “And not only that, but also what they will do.”
