Parks and public lands do not have the same level of protection, even though they are both managed by Alberta Environment and Parks.
#DefendABParks opposes re-categorizing 164 protected areas to public lands.

Ben is one of many volunteers helping to deliver signs to #defendABparks, and he let us share his recent letter to Premier Kenney.
One of the best ways you can help is write your own letter (or another letter!) to your MLA. Hopefully Ben’s letter will provide some inspiration!
Becky from #yyc sent us this picture of her new #DefendABParks lawn sign. Have you received your lawn sign already? if so, share/send us a picture! #IUseABParks #ILoveABParks #Dontgobreakingmyparks
