Alberta government seeks feedback in Lethbridge on new fishing legislation 
By Emily Olsen CA Source: Global News 1/20/2020

Alberta government officials are hitting the road for a series of open houses, following a Monday night stop in Lethbridge to hear feedback from local fishing enthusiasts about new legislation coming this year.

The open houses share details on fisheries management in Alberta and offer one-on-one conversations about concerns and ideas moving forward.

“What we’re really doing is just having our biologists come in and just talk with people,” said Rob Simieritsch, regional resource manager at Alberta Environment and Parks.
 

“They come into the room here, and they’re having a conversation. They get to share ideas. That’s really what we’re focused on is conversations.”

Some in attendance were enthusiastic to see a turnout of more than 100 people interested in voicing their opinions on everything from fishing licences to local ecosystems.

“I am absolutely flabbergasted,” said fisherman Bill Groves.

“I very much appreciate the concern that’s going on here. I have to say, ‘Yes, fishermen!’ There are many people here voicing the same concerns as I have.”
