Public input welcome on Kananaskis park and recreation plans

Calgary... Albertans are invited to share their opinion on a new management
plan being developed for Bragg Creek Provincial Park and close to 40
provincial recreation areas in Kananaskis Country. The provincial recreation
areas include those along Highway 66 (Elbow Valley), Highway 68 (Sibbald
Area) and Secondary Highway 541 (Longview Road). In addition to taking
written feedback, two open house sessions will be held to gather input.
When: Monday, November 26
Time: 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Location: Best Western Village Park Inn
1804 Crowchild Trail N.W., Calgary

When: Tuesday, November 27
Time: 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Location: Bragg Creek Community Centre
25 White Avenue, Bragg Creek
Input is also invited on the park management plan's draft Terms of
Reference, available at both sessions or by visiting the Kananaskis site at
www.tprc.alberta.ca/parks or calling 403-678-5508. Written comments received
by January 15, 2008 will be considered as the draft Terms of Reference and
plan are prepared. Albertans will have another opportunity to provide input
into the plan once a draft is finalized, expected to be in the spring of
2008.
The Government of Alberta is committed to developing management plans for
all protected areas in Alberta to determine how they are managed in the
future. Park management plans:
* Describe protected areas, and the surrounding environment and
community
* Identify government goals for the park or protected areas, and how
they will be achieved
* Provide objectives and guidelines on how a site's natural and
cultural heritage will be preserved
* Detail the type and extent of recreation, heritage appreciation and
tourism opportunities that will be supported in an area, and how they will
meet the needs of the community
* Provide opportunities for ongoing review and public consultation on
park management
Ensuring access to Alberta's provincial parks and recreation areas is part
of Premier Ed Stelmach's plan to secure Alberta's future by building
communities, greening our growth and creating opportunity.

I saw this in the paper the other day, and will make a real effort to get down there to add my 2 cents. I encourage anyone else in the Calgary area to do the same thing.
