Introduction

Our Fisheries and Wildlife Resource Programs are responsible for submitting reports every year on the projects they have been working on to describe the findings of the work. Communications is responsible for editing, proofing, and formatting these reports and making sure they are available to the public and our stakeholders and partners through our website and the Alberta Government Library.

Methods

We edited, proofed, and formatted reports from our resource programs. We then posted them on our website and submitted digital copies to the Alberta Government Library.

Results

Eight reports from 2019/20 were posted on our website and have been sent to the Alberta Government Library.

Conclusions

Once published, our project reports inform the public and our stakeholders about the results of our fish, wildlife, and habitat studies; recognize the efforts of our staff and the support of our

2 contributing partners; and increase the public’s recognition of ACA as a valuable conservation organization in Alberta.

Communications

• Posted reports on our website as they were completed. • Sent digital copies of the reports to the Alberta Government Library.
