Since 1995, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development has offered these special permits, in partnership with Alberta Conservation Organizations. Funds raised from both the sale of the auction and raffle permits are managed under a segregated fund. Each year, applicants (individuals or organizations) apply to this fund for financial assistance for their conservation projects. Categories include wildlife management, habitat improvement or conservation education. A Program Advisory Committee (PAC), comprised of representatives from various conservation organizations within Alberta meets to review, rank and allocate funding. Since the introduction of these permits, nearly $5.5 million dollars has been raised and re-invested in Alberta for wildlife, habitat and education programs.
RAFFLE TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE FROM:
The Alberta Hunter Education Instructors’ Association Offices:
Calgary: 403.252.8474 or 1.866.852.4342 & Edmonton: 780.466.6682 or 1.866.282.4342
