Central Alberta Chapter Continues to Support to Local Libraries

On July 21, 2014, Doug Pullan, Secretary of the Central Alberta Chapter, presented donation cheques to representatives from the Parkland Regional Library and the Red Deer College Library. 

This is the fourth year that the Central Alberta Chapter has provided funding to purchase books and other related materials that focus on fish, fish habitat and their surrounding riparian areas.  The books that were approved by the chapter’s executive committee were tailored towards people of all ages as well as college level reference texts. This book purchase program has not only educated people on fish and their habitat but has also brought awareness to the issues of sustainable fish management and the challenges affecting our cold water resources.  The chapter’s executive committee has received  positive input  and has been  encouraged  to continue the program believing that education  is a key factor for people’s understanding  of the issues surrounding  our cold water resources. The idea that clean water that benefits  everyone  as well as our fisheries; encourages individuals to get involved in local projects that  result in the good stewardship  of our waters.   The Central Alberta Chapter believes education is an important part of the mission and goals of Trout Unlimited Canada and will continue with further financial contributions to local libraries in the future.
