I thought I would have a big list as to why this petition for regs changes is important, and I only came up with the one that matters most to me.
1. it will bring to light the desire of local anglers to have a quality fishery within a resonable driving distance of calgary. The following links are all to papers and studies done by SRD on quality fisheries. You will find the common theme of local angler interest in all of them. Without this petition presented, they will not know that there is a local interest to proceed with all of the studies mentioned in all of these reports and documents.

I also attempted to locate the same quality fisheries reports for ES1, but suprisingly there are none, as there are no quality fisheries being managed in ES1 at this time.
