Alberta Centennial Wilds

Calgary: Local and national conservation organizations are calling on Alberta’s Sustainable Development Minister, Ted Morton, to release the scientists’ report outlining core grizzly habitat areas to his Grizzly Bear Recovery Team and the public.

(Edmonton/Calgary/Ottawa) The Sierra Club of Canada today called for a public inquiry into the extent of covert operations against citizens by the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB), and issued a list of unanswered questions that an inquiry should address.  On this opening day of EUB hearings in Pincher Creek on Royal Dutch Shell’s Mount Backus well application, Sierra Club believes that confidence in the EUB and the Energy Department won’t be restored until a full public inquiry is completed.
