Voice Your Views on Alberta’s Future June 20 Deadline

Tar sands, parks, clear-cuts, farms, mines, towns… their development is based on choices we make about how we use our land and water.

Between now and June 20th, you can have a say on how Alberta's land and water are managed.

The Alberta Government just released its Draft Land-use Framework (LUF). And it’s inviting people to submit their views through a questionnaire.

It's vitally important, and it’s easy, to make your voice heard:

1. Read our fact sheet, and check out the framework
2. Fill in the 10-question survey (click here for CPAWS’s response to the survey)
3. If you only have 10 minutes please consider responding to survey question 5 – Alberta’s Parks and Protected Areas need your support!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make sure good plans are made for Alberta's future. Don't miss this chance to express your views.

Our Mission

CPAWS Northern Alberta is a citizens’ voice for maintaining wilderness and biodiversity in Alberta through collaboration, research and community outreach.

Our Boreal Forest

Canada's boreal forest is one of the largest remaining forest ecosystems in the world.  CPAWS Northern Alberta is working hard to protect the boreal in Alberta.  We have initiated two conservation projects that will maximize protection of Alberta’s remaining wilderness and protect species threatened by industrial disturbance such as woodland caribou, grizzly bears and forest songbirds. The projects are the Athabasca Heartland campaign in northeastern Alberta, a world-class conservation opportunity, and the Chinchaga Wilderness campaign in Alberta's Foothills Natural Region. Find out more about our boreal campaign.

CPAWS Northern Alberta Chapter

The CPAWS Northern Alberta Chapter sees itself as a voice for all individuals who value and are concerned about the maintenance of biodiversity and wilderness in Alberta. Our efforts focus on the northern two-thirds of the province. We work in cooperation with the Calgary/Banff chapter, which operates primarily in southern Alberta, and with other local and international conservation groups.
