Response:
Do you support the continued operation of the Lethbridge Fish & Game Shooting Sports Facility in its current location in Pennaquim Park?
Yes
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
Do you agree that the LFGA Shooting Sports Facility represents an important community sport and recreation resource?
Yes
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?
I believe that the LFGA shooting facility is, by the nature of the activities participated therein, should be treated differently. This facility cannot waiver from its emphasis on firearm safety, participant safety, proper storage of equipment, safety training and high maintenance standards or people will die (or be seriously injured).
What is your position on ethical hunting and our need to support modern methods of wildlife management.
I am not a hunter and never have been. Unless I am better educated on this issue, my opinion is meaningless.
How would you support the extensive conservation, environment protection and revitalization, and wildlife management programs we provide?
I would be in favor of supporting those education/information programs that have an impact on the City of Lethbridge and/or our residents.
Have you ever worked with the LFGA in the past and what was your experience?
I have not. I do, however, know several people involved with the LFGA facility and believe them to be outstanding advocates for shooting sports and, more importantly, they are advocates for the facility to be as safe as possible.
