Licence Levy Increase Open Houses

[sirocco]

Hi guys,

 

I'm bogged down in school work tonight and wasn't able to make the open house here in Calgary. Just wondering if anyone has had the chance to go and learn more about what's going on?

 

Cheers

Sirocco,

 

I was there, The total participants were:

2 directors of the ACA

the CEO from the ACA

1 field employee of the ACA

the regional bio. from SRD

1 local newspaper reporter

 

 

And me - the only "sportsman" - so I voted for a 1000 % increase in fishing licenses to cover children, the aged and people considering children.

 

Seriously, the whole presentation can be see @ http://www.ab-conservation.com/about_us/Fe...%20-%202007.pdf

 

The question I asked was is the levy increase enough to do the job. Answer from CEO - we need double that today just to do what the ASRD asks of us.

 

And finally, what a waste of money and resources to put on open houses. The AF&G Ass's. whose silly idea the open houses were, should have to foot the bill.

 

 

catch ya'
