Hi Guys - the FFC board received an e-mail from an official at Fish & Wildlife (SRD) verifying that "the work the volunteer is doing for me (Fish & Wildlife) is legitimate and is being conducted under of the authority of a Fisheries Research Licence, as per the Alberta Fisheries Act."
We value tremendously your efforts in protecting the waters that we all fish, however, in this situation we should be offering an "FFC pat on the back" to this particular volunteer.
Thanks guys!
