Hunting, Fishing, and Trapping Act (Bill 201) becomes REALITY
Your Alberta Fish & Game Association (AFGA) is pleased to announce that the Alberta Hunting Heritage Act--Bill 201 received third and final reading and was passed by the Legislature. It was given royal ascent by the Lieutenant-Governor of Alberta on behalf of the Queen on Ma y 15, 2008.
Bill 201 is more than just symbolic. It creates a statutory right to hunt, fish, and trap that can be defended in court. It will help secure the future of these time-honoured activities in Alberta.
The AFGA couldn't be happier that this very important piece of legislation is finally enacted. AFGA 1st Vice President, Quentin Bochar initially drafted this paper over five years ago on behalf of AFGA and it was presented by your Senior Executive to at least 3 Ministers before one would take it forward. Thanks go to Mr. Leonard Mitzel (PC) MLA for Cypress-Medicine Hat who presented the bill with the full support of ASRD Minister Ted Morton.
This piece of legislation will recognize Hunting, Fishing and Trapping as legitimate, rightful privileges under the protection of law and will serve us well in the future.
