Interim Métis Harvesting Agreement.
In late September
of 2004, the Alberta Government struck interim agreements with the
Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) and the Métis Settlements
General Council (MSGC) to allow members of these
organizations, and persons eligible for membership in these
organizations, to hunt, fish or trap, for subsistence purposes,
without licences and at all seasons of the year. (more)

Impacts of the Interim Métis
Harvesting Agreement.
This Agreement
poses a serious threat to Alberta wildlife and wildlife management
in this province. Some of our more vulnerable species are now being
hunted under the guise of subsistence hunting. Bighorn rams are
being killed while on their wintering grounds, deer are being hunted
for trophy, cow moose can be legally shot in March while they are
pregnant, grizzly bears can be hunted, as well as elk, mountain
goats, pronghorn antelope and caribou, which are protected from
hunting in Alberta. (more)

Hunter and Angler Complacency is our
Real Enemy.
While the threats to hunting and
fishing in this province are numerous, one of the greatest threats
comes from within. That’s right, sportsmen and women are their own
worst enemy. (more)

How to write an advocacy letter.
One of the oldest
rights we have living in a democratic society is the right to make
our views known to our elected representatives. Doing so is an
effective way to ensure that laws and regulations that affect you,
your family, and your way of life are not infringed upon by others
who share different view points. (more)

Where to send your letter.
Be aware that these are “interim” agreements will be replaced
by “Long Term Agreements” sometime in the future. Therefore, your
MLA and the respective ministers need to hear from you as soon as
possible about your concerns with these interim agreements and the
future of wildlife conservation in this province. (more)
