Controversy Over Prairie Coulees Ecological Reserve
Alberta environmentalist Ann Roberts of the Alberta Wilderness Association urges keeping the entire 22.5 square kilometre Prairie Coulees Reserve protected near CFB Suffield north of Medicine Hat. Ranchers seek only the south part with weaker protection, while energy firms back partial reserve status. The AWA requests full ecological reserve designation from Environmental Protection Minister Brian Evans.
