This project is being supported by many groups! 

Selected Letters of Support: 

In April 2021, we heard from hundreds of Albertans through an online survey. The vast majority of respondents are eager to see the North Sask. recognized under CHRS, but not at the sacrifice of river access or the activities that they love.

The results of this engagement was published in a 'What we Heard' Report' which you can review.:  

At its bi-annual regular meeting in November 2021, the CHRS Board recommended the Nomination of the North Saskatchewan River in Alberta back to the Province of Alberta for final endorsement.

Alberta Minister of Environment and Parks (AEP)  and Minister for Stewardship Jason Nixon signed the Nomination document in April 2022. 

The federal minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Steven Guibault concurred in June 2022.
