Stop Clearcutting

Things like this are a direct result of the Alberta PC party being in the pockets of large resource companies. Definitive action on environmental issues will not happen with the current government.

However, grassroots actions around things like that can make things happen. There was a significant amount of development around Sylvan Lake that was delayed because of a similar action recently. It's a good thing to be certain but remember that electoral change is the only was to ensure that you won't have to fight the same fight over and over. I admit that I am uninterested in the current opposition for various reasons but something needs to change.

Demon666, jobs aren't exactly hard to come by ATM, I wouldn't feel especially upset for those involved. I also don't think that anyone is advocating a complete halt to forestry operations in Alberta either. The major concern is that many people who will potentially be affected by this have not be notified of the changes or consulted on how to deal with the potential impact.

This is a site run by an individual which is providing people information about the issue and promoting a meeting put on by the Bragg Creek Environmental Coalition.

Hardly an example of proper project management. I can't find any notice or information on this subject that involves a meeting between stakeholders and any regulatory or provincial government body.

The site is a good thing but it's not what I was talking about.

FYI: I recieved a response from the office of the Premier today, and they will be addressing the issue with all parties concerned prior to approval.
