Kananaskis is provincial park land, not a national park, so people routinely assume the Banff prohibition does not apply and that the airspace is therefore open. Alberta Parks has its own restrictions, and being outside a national park is not the same as being unrestricted — the assumption is where most Kananaskis drone problems begin.
The provincial restriction is checked against the specific site and purpose before anything is quoted, rather than inferred from the absence of a national-park boundary.

These sit inside or immediately adjacent to Kananaskis Village and are checked on every sortie. None of them is visible from a map at driveway scale, which is why the address is confirmed against NAV Drone rather than assumed from the postcode.

Not freely. Kananaskis Country is provincial park land and Alberta Parks restrictions govern drone use there. It is a different regime from Banff National Park, but being outside a national park does not make the airspace open.
No, and that difference is the source of most confusion. Banff is federal land under Parks Canada; Kananaskis is provincial land under Alberta Parks. Both restrict drone use, through separate rules with separate processes.
No. Transport Canada governs the airspace; Alberta Parks governs the land beneath it. An operator can be fully compliant with RPAS regulations and still be prohibited from launching in a provincial park.
