Aep - Bow River Access Plan

[fishteck]

Alberta Environment & Parks has started a consultation process to develop and improve Bow River access from Ghost Reservoir down to Carsland. Bow River Trout, as a stakeholder in the engagement process is compiling data for the importance of each access site in the scope of the priority stretch of the Bow river from Calgary to Carseland. Please take some time and go to the following link and complete the questionaire. It will ony take a couple of minutes.

Where's the actual plan?

[fishteck]

AEP had a series of stakeholder meeting last week covering, recreational use, conservation groups, local government and commercial businesses. The information gathered from the discussions will go into the proposed plan that will be presented to the public for comment in June. It is my understanding that the discussions at all session was very constructive. The good news is that short term improvements at Policeman's Flats and McKinnon's Flats are a priority.

I'd be very supportive of them looking at Mckinnon's as a possible provincial park/day use space. Would solve some of the nonsense we see going down there and could make a much more family friendly and habitat friendly access point.
