Are you concerned about what the NDP is cooking up for the Bighorn backcountry?

I just spoke with a friend who is very involved in the fight to stop the NDP. He says the sign looks wrong as well. The government lists all trail closures on their website. I’ll get a link in a bit.

Has anyone seen one of these signs? It could be good for our side if some group is illegally posting signs on crown land.

The other day was a consult meeting which was a mixedstakeholder meeting, primarily the Bighorn Heritage ATV Society and the NordeggOHV society, both have members on the Bighorn Standing Committee as SummerMotorized representatives and are volunteers extraordinaire.
We were told by AEP staff yesterday that surveys aredifficult to do in order to fairly represent the views of Albertan’s. The RACsurvey was just to get a feel for the mood of Albertans and will not beconsidered as input. Essentially it was explained to be just practice anddoesn’t count.
So all the good folks ( and I mean everyone, for andagainst) that took the time to answer the surveys and participate in the inputprocess, in good faith, had their time wasted and trust stomped on again. Allour input is not being considered valid.
The Plan consult and development is as advertised tocontinue through to the end of 2019. AEP staff did say that at the end ofFebruary or at any time for that matter, the Minister can do an Order inCouncil to put any part or the entire plan in place.

With the threat of an early election on the horizon it is vitally important that you all get out to the meetings ! They will be trying to ram this down our throats before they get booted.
Please attend a meeting, write your MLA, write the environment minister and yes the premier. If you know anyone in the media that might be supportive , give them a call and let them know what is going on.
Our rights as Albertans , are at stake here folks!
