For 100 years, Abbot Pass Hut was a destination and a refuge for hikers, climbers, mountaineers and others inspired by high and wild places.
Parks Canada will continue to share the story of Abbot Pass Hut with Canadians. We would like to hear what mattered most to you about this heritage place. What should be remembered?
Later this year, a working group will make recommendations to Parks Canada about how these heritage values could be shared in the future.
There are two ways you can participate:
Survey - Tell us why Abbot Pass Hut mattered to you and to Canada.
Idea Board - Share an idea for how to remember this place. (Optional)

How could salvaged components of the hut could be used in interpretation?
Are there existing initiatives that are worthy of additional support?
Should commemorative activities include monuments on the landscape, educational programs, commemorative art or exhibitions, scientific research and knowledge-building, some combination of these things, or something else?
Some decisions cannot be influenced by public engagement:
What kinds of activities are permitted at Abbot Pass
New place names in the Lake Louise area
Permanent exhibits inside the Lake Louise Visitor Centre
New habitable structures built at Abbot Pass or elsewhere
A working group, led by the Alpine Club of Canada, plans to submit a development proposal for a new structure in place of Abbot Pass Hut. Parks Canada has not yet received a formal application. While a proposal for a future hut may be informed by public engagement, that future proposal is separate from this engagement process.
