Editorial: Flood of ideas
Alberta’s regional plan shouldn’t overlook watersheds
Calgary Herald, December 27, 2013
Read editorial here: http://bit.ly/1eiRYbb
Kevin Van Tighem writes in response to this editorial:
Let's replace clearcutting with canopy-retention logging, institute a zero-harvest trapping quota on beavers whose work creates water-storing and flood-slowing wetlands, permit off-road vehicles only on properly maintained trails, and set aside the Castle drainage and other key water-producing areas in the mountains and foothills as wildland parks."

Northern Gateway Pipeline Project - JRP Report
Northern Gateway Pipeline Project - JRP Report
The National Energy Board’s Joint Review Panel (JRP) issued their report on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline Project last week, just a few days before Christmas.
To no one’s surprise, it was met with mixed reviews, generally dependent on which side of the fence the writer was sitting.
We’ve listed a sampling of articles below, for your holiday reading enjoyment. :-)
NOTE: The first article provides links to the actual JRP report.
