Saving Alberta Parks

[Jokey75]

There is small survey you can fill out which at this site which will let your MLA know that you care about the Parks in Alberta that are slated to be shut down.
You dont have to give your info, other than postal code, and it took me about 30 seconds to fill out including a comment on how important these places are to my family.

You might be surprised at how many of these places you and your family have visited over the years. After going through the list I found that I have been to 11 of them in the last 2 years.

Many of these are access areas to prime fishing locations and that could be gone if something were to happen to these down the road. I am not going to get into what could happen to this land if the parks are shut down or the whole political discussion around them.

But if you think fishing places are crowded now (and I know there are tons of threads on this site saying so) think about how it might look if these places were gone.

I encourage you to take 30 seconds to add your voice.

thanks for this....the UCP obsession with American-style privatization of everything sickens me.

Thanks, I will check it out. My kids learned to fish on one of the lakes on their list.

Consider a phone call and/or an in-person visit to your MLA as well. I can't fathom this thinking. Our parks and campgrounds are under so much pressure from use already. We need more, not less ffs.
