The new proposed Alberta Parks Act has been withdrawn by the parks minister for "further" consultation with the public and will not be brought back before the Legislative Assembly until in eight months. Yeah, we did it! Big thanks to everyone who called or wrote their MLA, Premier Stelmach or the parks minister to express their concerns! The Parks Act wanted to dismantle current protection for Alberta's conservation areas and instead allow more industry in.
The LRT extension in Edmonton will still go ahead but now with costs savings because the time pressure disappeared now that Edmonton will not bid for the Expo 2017. The time frame has already been extended by a couple of years. Oh well, better late than never.
