The Issue.
The Alberta government is planning to close 20 parks and remove 164 from the Alberta Parks system. A total of 175 parks will lose protection and Albertans could lose access. What can you do?
What you can do
- Follow developments on this issue, visit the Defend Alberta Parks website.
- Send an email letter to your MLA. Handwritten letters are more memorable and more effective than template letters as they are considered a better reflection of constituents’ true opinions and can include meaningful content that cannot be ignored.
- Request a lawn sign. Lawn signs are effective and send a clear message to representatives that parks are important to Albertans and should be protected.
- Volunteer. Phone or text the Bow Valley Protect Our Parks coordinator Naia West: 403-493-0985.
