Free Holders's Petition - Please sign-up!

When the business interests of a powerful corporation impact the property rights of tens of thousands of Alberta citizens, it's time for the Government of Alberta to take action. The Freehold Owners Association (FHOA), a non-profit volunteer association, represents the interests of descendants of Alberta's earliest settlers who hold title to natural gas beneath split title lands. FHOA requests that fair-minded citizens of Alberta review and submit this petition.

To get more information on the issue and FHOA, visit their website: www.fhoa.ca

Measuring Up?

In the government's recent Measuring Up report, two out of six Alberta river systems had “good” to “excellent” water quality, which means that four river systems are in the fair to poor condition. This data is in contrast to previous years, when five out of six river systems had good to excellent water quality.

David finds these statistics very concerning and held a press conference at the Calgary Outdoor Resource Centre on July 18. Read the press release here: click here
