I'm here because I've spent a lot of time trying to conserve things in the city of Calgary. I’ve found I’ve had a lot of push-back, and a lot of the push-back comes from the aldermen in the city who have other plans for the lands.
I was very interested to find out if you're doing conservation in an urban environment. I have lots of good examples to talk about, what I've tried to do and some of the things I've achieved, but I can also tell you I had to do a lot of thinking on why the federal government would get involved. I think I have the answer. Depending on the time allowed, I can talk about that.
