The regulation encompasses a diverse array of subject areas and affects many of our province’s stakeholders. The current Wildlife Regulation expires on 30 June 2015. Your feedback is important in helping to amend certain sections of the Regulation and to help us balance the preferences of Albertans with the future of wildlife management.
