Do you support the continued operation of the Lethbridge Fish & Game Shooting Sports Facility in its current location in Pennaquim Park?  

 – One of my 3 key principles is financial efficiency.  Having a good idea of the costs involved in moving the range vs. addressing the concerns that have been expressed, it is my understanding that moving the range is really not a financially viable option.  I believe the standards, rules and regulations imposed on users of the range are already very stringent and responsible, not to mention reasonable.

Do you believe the City of Lethbridge has an obligation to residents by assisting the Lethbridge Fish and Game Association provide a safe, controlled environment to use firearms?

 – Yes, in as far as I believe the City must act in the best interests of its citizens in propounding a safe environment for all.

 Do you agree that the LFGA Shooting Sports Facility represents an important community sport and recreation resource? 

 – I believe diverse sports & recreation facilities are important to any community.  This includes the LFGA Shooting Sports Facility in Lethbridge.

Do you believe that the LFGA Shooting Sports Facility should be treated differently than other sporting venues by the City of Lethbridge? If so, how?

 – Yes, dangers inherent in the sport demand careful implementation of the rules, regulations and requirements.  Respecting these dangers commands the respect of those who acknowledge them.

What is your position on ethical hunting and our need to support modern methods of wildlife management.

 – I support ethical hunting for food or wildlife management as set forth by the direction of appropriate authorities.

How would you support the extensive conservation, environment protection and revitalization, and wildlife management programs we provide?

 – I would support in chambers, all reasonable application of the conservation, environmental protection & revitalization, and wildlife management programs of the LFGA

Have you ever worked with the LFGA in the past and what was your experience?

 – Being a holder of an active PAL & rPAL, I have visited local ranges on numerous occasions, even taking part in several tournaments.  I have always found the LFGA range and it’s safety personnel to be above reproach and professional in every way.
