Save Kananaskis rally photos
On November 2, about 100 people attended a rally to support the campaign to Save Kananaskis. We heard David Swann, Ralph Cartar and Paola Romanelli ask us to continue to work for change.
About 100 people took their message to stop logging and create a park, to the streets of Calgary.
Participants used our Tag-A-Tree disks to make their point. Placards read; "Create a Park", "A Place for People", "Save Kananaskis . . . For the Water, For our Kids, For Wildlife, etc."
David Swann said the government landuse policy was short-sighted and that the people were far ahead of the government on recognizing the need to balance preservation with development.
The rally was held to tell Calgarians that logging has begun in the area where we want to create a park.
The location at Memorial Drive and the Louise bridge was relatively easy to get to and hundreds of passing motorists saw our signs, took our postcards and some honked their support.
Ralph Cartar said the government isn't paying attention and that visitors to Kananaskis will be shocked to see clear-cut forests near Barrier Lake next spring.
