One of southern Alberta’s major ports of entry is closing for the season Sept. 30 at 6 p.m.
Chief Mountain will reopen in the spring of 2026. The port is located along Highway 6 on the boundary of Waterton Lakes National Park.
Due to its high elevation and harsh winters, Chief Mountain only operates from May to September each year.
Travellers can use the Carway, Del Bonita and Coutts port of entries, as an alternative during the seasonal closure.
As of Sept. 8, the Chief Mountain port of entry welcomed 49,049 travellers into Canada during the 2025 season, a decrease of over 8,000 travellers from the previous year.
