AWA hosts events of all types throughout the year and throughout the province.

Bill 79, the Trails Act, fulfills a promise the United Conservative Party made in its 2019 election platform. However, this bill does so dangerously. This legislation opens the door to the privatization of recreation trails on public lands.

AWA is pleased to host Jason Unger, Director of the Environmental Law Centre, who will give an overview of the Trails Act and discuss what needs to happen to better plan and manage Alberta’s trail system. He will discuss key amendments that the Act requires.

Keeping the Peace in Nature: Can we enforce our way into treating our public lands with greater civility?

Retired RCMP Officer Wayne Howse thinks enforcement (and more of it) is an important tool, but not the only tool, to help lessen public lands abuses so often associated with some forms of public lands recreation. Please join us as we present Wayne with AWA’s prestigious Wilderness and Wildlife Defenders Award, and hear from him on his vision for Alberta’s Public Lands.
