Changes to the Public Lands
ALBERTA WILDERNESS ARTICLE ASSOCIATION Wild Lands Advocate 11(6): 17 - 18, December 2003 CHANGES TO THE PUBLIC LANDS ACT – DEALING WITH OFFENDERS AND LETTING GAME-FARMED BISON LOOSE ON PUBLIC LANDS By Shirley Bray, WLA Editor and Vivian Pharis, AWA Director Bill 49, Public Lands Amendment Act, 2003 was introduced November 18, 2003 by Denis Ducharme, MLA for Bonnyville-Cold Lake on behalf of Mike Cardinal, Minister of Sustainable Resource Development. A government announcement says that “these changes will strengthen and clarify the government’s role as the land manager for public lands.” These amendments will allow Alberta to “deal swiftly and effectively with instances of non-compliance on public lands, and allow some bison grazing on public land.” Non-Compliance The amendments dealing with non-compliance “are intended to further discourage people from travelling on closed roads, destroying gates or preventing access to those who need to lawfully access public lands.” They will “clarify existing offences on public land, outline a police officer’s authority to remove people from public land and enable the Minister to take enforcement action if people travel on a road that has been closed to the public.” AWA has long lobbied for a legislative mechanism for closing roads on public lands in order to protect wildlife habitat, reduce poaching and allow regeneration of some roads. However, we also see a danger in such legislation, if it is applied to unfairly exclude the public, including First Nations peoples, from lawful access to public lands. We would like to see clarification as to when and where this legislation is to apply.

Le Prix Ami.e de la francophonie albertaine Ce prix souligne la contribution et le dévouement d’un(e) allié(e) à la cause du fait français en Alberta. Liste des récipiendaires du prix Ami.e de la francophonie 2017 – Ricardo Miranda, ministre de la Culture et du Tourisme, responsable du Secrétariat francophone Ricardo Miranda a été élu à l'Assemblée législative de l'Alberta comme représentant de la circonscription de Calgary-Cross le 5 mai 2015. Le 2 février 2016, Miranda était nommé ministre de la Culture et du Tourisme. Il est également membre du Comité des politiques de développement économique et du Comité de la révision de la législation. À la suite d’une première rencontre avec M. Miranda, suite à un jugement de la Cour suprême dans l’affaire Caron-Boutet, l’ACFA a émis le souhait de rencontrer la Première ministre albertaine afin d’obtenir un signal clair sur la relation que le gouvernement de l’Alberta souhaitait établir avec sa communauté francophone. Quelques semaines plus tard, ce souhait laissé entre les mains de M. Miranda s’est concrétisé. Rapidement suite à cette rencontre et malgré un horaire chargé, le ministre Miranda s’est mis au travail et a convoqué l’ACFA à des rencontres mensuelles afin de faire avancer cet important dossier. Lors du Congrès annuel de la francophonie albertaine 2016, il annonçait une série de neuf consultations communautaires ainsi que des consultations en ligne visant à recueillir les aspirations de la communauté à l’égard d’une première politique en matière de francophonie du gouvernement de l’Alberta.
