The Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs (SACPA) presents a session examining Alberta's fish and wildlife landscape and plans for its future management.
Concerns have been raised about the fragmentation of the management of Alberta’s fish and wildlife resources to separate departments and non-government agencies. Questions will be raised on how effective fish and wildlife management and conservation will happen, in such a fractured way. Risks to an important resource, a provincial treasure, will be explored.
Who is Minding Alberta’s Fish and Wildlife?
What is happening, how might these changes influence a public resource like fish and wildlife, and why should you care
