There are 11 provincial parks in Alberta, as of March 2021, that offer Wi-Fi access at their visitor centres, such as Peter Lougheed and Lesser Slave Lake68. These are primarily connected to the Alberta SuperNet for backhaul.

Parks Canada announced in 2014 it would start installing Wi-Fi hotspots in up to 150 locations across Canada69. The Jasper and Banff townsites offer free commercial Wi-Fi services, including Shaw Go Wi-Fi. In Waterton National Park, free Wi-Fi is offered in the town of Waterton as part of its community broadband network, a mix of fibre and wireless services.
