Went very well. Some one from all the different groups where there. Quaders,single tracker, random campers, fish and game,hunters family groups. All gave speaches and how this effects everyone.
This is not just about the Castle. All lands on the western side of the province are under attack from future recreational closures. From High level to Grande Cache to Hinton to Rocky Mountain House to Waterton are being shut down to all recreational activities.
Under pressure from extreme enviromental groups such as castle crown wilderness group and y2y.
All based on bad pseudo science.
