Increased fracking sparks fear of water use, pollution
by Stephen Ewart, Calgary Herald, Friday, February 07, 2014
.... "It's increasing on a dramatic scale without any understanding of what the potential consequences will be," [Mason] said.
The licences potentially amount to more than 17 million cubic metres of fresh water that would be used in a province with longstanding drought concerns in its southern regions. It would equal almost half of the fresh water used for conventional oil and gas production in Western Canada in 2012.
Including the oilsands, overall fresh water consumption by the industry was 244 million cubic metres.
Oil and gas activity accounts for about 10 per cent of water used in Alberta - farming is allocated more than 40 per cent - but much of the water industry pumps deep underground is effectively lost to human use forever....

'NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT' coming to Calgary Feb 19, 2014!
CANADIAN PREMIERE
In the space between war and a new battle, NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT unfolds. A retired Marine Colonel reaches out to five men, a new generation returning from combat. He brings them to the river. He puts a fly rod into their hand, teaches them to cast, and shares his secret: there are places where you can still be consumed by a simple act, find joy in a fight, and be redeemed as you gently release another creature, unharmed, into quiet waters.

'FALL RUN' coming to Calgary Feb 19, 2014!
CANADIAN PREMIERE
2014 | Official Selection | Wild & Scenic Film Festival
“Fall Run” is the ultimate Pacific Northwest steelhead adventure. This is the true story every angler dreams about retelling around the campfire forever. Hooking and landing a steelhead on a fly is not easy. It is arguably the most difficult type of fly fishing in the world. Add the challenges of Mother Nature’s moods, an unpredictable wild creature and one single, split-moment chance to capture it all on film……..and you’ve got a recipe for a movie house flop. But against all possible odds, luck lands on the right side for the filming of this high-action angling adventure.
