The police say that they are preparing to find a way to keep more than 3,400 people safe alongside the rocky mountains at the G7 summit this summer in Kananaskis, Alberta.
A report to the Calgary police committee indicates that the police expect around 70 official guests, 2,000 delegates and 1,400 journalists will be in the region between Calgary and Kananaskis for the summit.
Supt. Joe Brar of the Calgary police service estimated that 70 official guests, 2,000 delegates and 1,400 journalists will be present at the G7 summit from June 15 to 17 in the Kananaskis country of Alberta.

“It is a major security event, and I would like to say that it is probably the biggest security event since the last time we organized a summit of this size (in 2002),” said the Surint of the Calgary police services. Joe Brar said at a press conference on Wednesday.
The G7 is scheduled for June 15 to 17, bringing together the leaders of Canada, the United States, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and Italy, as well as the European Union.
Police forces from all over Canada will support security efforts, including the authorities of Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver.

The RCMP says the teams will be on alert for modern security threats such as drones, as well as the fact that one of the leaders – US President Donald Trump – recently faced two assassination threats.
The summit will be unique due to its location in the rocky mountains, surrounded by forest, rivers and mountains. Supt Checth de GRCP. David Hall said the officers planned to patrol in the region, but refused to share details on how the region will be secure.
The restricted area will also be an area of non-theft. Details on the question of whether the airspace restrictions will apply to commercial airlines are still being developed, said Hill.

The police will implement an anti-theft exclusion zone of 30 naval miles around Kananaskis during the event and there will at the same time be temporary restrictions around Calgary International Airport, he added.
“If there is a drone activity that concerns the security and security of the summit, we have measures that we implement, but again, these are things we will keep for us,” said Hill.
Country security agencies will share information on potential threats to what Hill has called an “international cooperation center”.
The security costs will be made public after the end of the summit.
Kananaskis welcomed the summit for the last time in 2002, less than a year after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States
