Alberta Water Security Motion Passes

[jpinkster]

Yesterday the MLA for Banff-Cochrane tabled a motion in the Legislature that instructs the provincial government to make water security a priority. While the motion itself is vague, it gives Cabinet a focal point for future policy.

 

There are plenty of things we can criticize this government for, but I believe they are getting this one right. Our proximity to the headwaters for a large percentage of our North America's fresh water comes with a lot of responsibility. By prioritizing water security in the east slopes we not only protect at risk species like east slope cutthroat, we also set the tone for a responsible relationship with our fresh water throughout our major basins. I'm very interested to see what comes next!
