Alberta Wilderness & Wildlife Defenders – Altalink Proposal

February 2, 2011

A proposed Altalink project to build new 240KV transmission lines in the southern Livingstone region would impose an appalling visual blight on a spectacular signature southern Alberta landscape. Public input may be invited on where the route will go: but whether or not the line is needed in the first place, and what the alternatives are, has never been publicly discussed. It needs to be.

No public hearings are scheduled. Only one Alberta organization, the Alberta Wilderness Association, is independent enough that it continues championing public land and the people's right of access to it. So people must speak individually, as they have so many times before, directly to the premier, the minister of Sustainable Resource Development and their MLA, and remind them of what public land means to all of us, that none of it is surplus to our needs, that we do not want it sold.
