Legacy Island - Update Meeting

The Bow River Chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada leases and controls access to the Legacy Island boat launch. The chapter, in conjunction with Trout Unlimited Canada, has been working to gather the necessary permits to improve the Legacy Island Boat Launch area.

Like many launch points on the Bow River, Legacy Island was impacted by recent flooding. The Bow River Chapter and Trout Unlimited Canada, in lieu of the flood, have been working hard to obtain the necessary permits to facilitate the work to restore the Legacy Island launch. This process is complex but it is nearing completion.

In order to expedite and control the Legacy Island restoration process the Bow River Chapter and TUC will be holding a Legacy Island Issues Meeting to discuss the process of re-opening access to Legacy Island.

When: Tuesday August 6, 2013, 7pm
Where: TUC head office, #160 6712 Fisher Street S.E. Calgary.

Issues including timing, permits, funding, contracting and what members and volunteers can assist with will be discussed.

Until the necessary permits are in place the Bow River Chapter and TUC are asking people not to engage in any restoration activities and should consider access to Legacy Island temporarily closed.

For any additional information please contact Brian Meagher, Alberta Biologist via email or phone, (403) 209-5185.
