Todd Loewen, MLA for Central Peace-Notley and Minister of Forestry and Parks, is travelling to Oklahoma City today to receive a conservation award.
Loewen will be attending the Duck Hunters Expo from July 25-27, where he will accept a Waterfowling Legacy Award from Delta Waterfowl on behalf of the Government of Alberta.
The award is meant to recognize Alberta’s leadership in enhancing conservation efforts, promoting responsible wildlife management and expanding sustainable waterfowl hunting, the province says.
The minister will also promote the province as a premier destination for hunting, angling and other outdoor recreation opportunities.
“Alberta’s government works hard to conserve wildlife populations, enhance accessibility and preserve hunting as an important part of our cultural heritage, and it is an honour to have this work recognized by Delta Waterfowl,” said Loewen. “This award proves that Alberta continues to be a world leader in wildlife conservation.”
He will be joined by one staff member and trip expenses will be posted online.
