Established in 1996, the Improvement District shares most physical boundaries with Kananaskis Country. The KID is the only Alberta municipal authority located within a provincial park, and virtually all its land base is owned and administered by the Government of Alberta.

The Kananaskis Improvement District (KID) Council was established in 1996 to provide direct public representation in the governance of the KID. Council is accountable to residents and ratepayers as well as to the Minister of Alberta Forestry and Parks. Council is responsible for helping the Minister make sure KID provides the services the constituents need and want. It provides input into policy making relating to programs and services in the KID and monitors these programs and services to ensure that administration delivers them in the best way possible. The Kananaskis Improvement District is managed under a unique local governance model. Under this model, many of the decisions needed to run the KID have been delegated to Council by ministerial order.
