The South Saskatchewan Region is a land-use framework region in southern Alberta, Canada. One of seven in the province, each is intended to develop and implement a regional plan, complementing the planning efforts of member municipalities in order to coordinate future growth. Corresponding roughly to major watersheds while following municipal boundaries, these regions are managed by Alberta Environment and Parks.[1]
As it includes the Calgary Metropolitan Region, the largest urban area in Alberta, the South Saskatchewan Region has the highest population of any Alberta land-use region.
