Provincial public engagement on two upstream reservoir proposals on the Bow River west of Calgary has been extended until May 13.
Consultations continue on two proposals to build an upstream reservoir on the Bow River . One of those proposals garnered significant push back due to its potential impact on a wide array of park land. Adam MacVicar reports.As the Government of Alberta gathers feedback on two upstream reservoir proposals on the Bow River , opposition around one of the options continues to grow.
A 2020 assessment of the potential sites classified the downstream effectiveness of the Glenbow East Dam as “very good,” while the other two options’ effectiveness was listed as “good.” “It’s relatively narrow but relatively deep, which enables it to hold an equivalent amount of water but also allow for less evaporation to happen,” Farkas added.
“Engagement conducted from 2021-23 included virtual live sessions, in-person meetings with property owners, online webinars and dozens of meetings with stakeholder groups, including the Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation,” Ryan Fournier said in a statement to Global News. “The current public engagement is a follow-up to that important work.”Fournier noted Minister Rebecca Schulz has directed department officials to extend the current round of engagement another week to May 13.
