Re: Castle area(southwest alberta) soon to be protected area On Friday, September 4th, the Provincial Government announced a new Provincial and Wilderness Park in the Castle Mountain area. This is the first park in Canada to allow the present use of ATV'S on the designated trail system in the Castle area, and also to allow hunting. Logging is out. We will no longer be able to ride on pipelines, or power lines, however Environment and Parks has assured us that there will be a lot of money put into the Parks for trail maintenance and upkeep and also possibly new trails to replace lost pipe and power line trails. The government is holding a 30 day public forum where you can provide your feedback and you are all strongly urged to complete this feedback. The stronger the voice, the more we can influence our views. Please go to the following link which explains the Parks and what is allowed and what will not be allowed and take the survey for the feedback. Our office was advised of this announcement 20 minutes prior to it being announced. Rob Simieritsch, who is the new Regional Director, (replacing Daryl) for Environment and Parks called our office as they themselves had just found out about it.<br />
