Alberta provincial government just announced 175 Alberta parks sites will no longer be delisted or closed. Thanks to all who spoke out on behalf of nature and defended Alberta Parks!
“It is a win that the policy that was announced is not going forward. Albertans should be proud that they have stood up for their parks.” Tens of thousands of Albertans showed their support for Alberta’s parks. We did this together. edmonton.ctvnews.ca/alberta-govern… #DefendABParks
A new government announcement brings uplifting news: the 175 sites under the “Optimizing Alberta Parks” plan will no longer be delisted or closed. The voices of tens of thousands of Albertans who stood up to #DefendABParks were heard! Read on: cpaws-southernalberta.org/provincial-gov…
