Cooler temperatures, leaves turning colour and the sound of geese flying overhead are all indications of autumn and the onset of hunting season. In an effort to promote the sport of ethical hunting and fishing, the 2020 Waterfowl Warm-up event was held on Aug. 20 in Tofield at Beaverhills Sporting Clays, hosted by the Alberta Conservation Association. The event brought together hunting enthusiasts and wildlife management stakeholders for a fun-filled day of competition and an opportunity to promote and educate the long-standing sport of hunting. This year’s event also provided an opportunity to promote Alberta’s new sandhill crane hunt, which began on Sept. 1 in more than 50 Wildlife Management Units (WMU) in southern and east central Alberta. The hunt will run concurrently with Alberta’s waterfowl season. Present for the event was Province of Alberta minister of environment and parks Jason Nixon and Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely.
and County) exploring recreational activities closer to home, 2020 is bound to be a busy year. Hunters and trappers are advised to check with the recently updated Alberta Wildlife Act (Wildlife Regulation) or the 2020 Alberta Guide to Hunting Regulations at albertaregulations.ca/huntingregs/ to ensure they are in compliance with laws and regulations intended to manage and conserve wildlife and protect the rights of property owners. Fishing is another favourite pastime of many Albertans and guests to the province and seems to be gaining in popularity. So far, 2020 has seen an increase in fishing licence sales of roughly 30 per cent over the previous year. With recent investments in Alberta’s four fish hatcheries totalling more than $40 million, fishing in Alberta will soon be supported by an even larger and more diverse provincial stocking program, which should result in even more fishing opportunities, and the spin-off economic benefits they provide, while assisting in the recovery of species at risk.

Back to school this year has taken on an entirely different look as teachers and staff escort students in small groups back into the classroom. Donning masks and keeping two metres apart, students seemed to be quite excited to get back into the school and resume some degree of normalcy, while anxious parents did their part by remaining outside the fenced compound and waving from a distance.

The Waterfowl Warmup gave Minister Nixon an opportunity to sit down for conversation with representatives of the Alberta Conservation Association and Alberta Professional Outfitters Society.
