Calgary -- The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society’s national board of trustees is voicing outrage...

EDITOR'S NOTE: In response to CPAW's request, I wrote a letter to Alberta's elected officials which is reproduced, directly below. After that, you will see a response from an Opposition member in Alberta. l.p.

Dear Mr. Chase,

Having lived in Calgary for 10 years, I had the opportunity to visit many of your beautiful parks.
I would plead with you to take pity on their vulnerability and err on the side of conservation, not 

 exploitation.
I plead with you, please withdraw this Parks Act Bill!
Sincerely,
Larry Powell

Dear Larry,

Thank you very much for speaking out about Bill 29. With your permission, Mr. Chase would like to table your letter in the Legislature as being opposed to Bill 29 and your email will become part of the permanent record of the Legislature.

 I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Debbie Puppato,
Constituency Assistant
