Healthy headwaters are essential public infrastructure. Just like hospitals, schools, and roads, our communities cannot function without them. These slopes store, filter, and release the water that sustains our farms, rivers, and homes. But right now, short-sighted decisions are causing permanent damage to the very systems that keep our water clean and reliable.
WHAT'S PUTTING HEADWATERS AT RISK?
It is the cumulative impact of logging, road building, and industrial development happening all at once. Reactive measures are not enough. We need proactive protection before our water security is lost.
WHAT IS IN DANGER?
Water Security: The steady flow of clean water for drinking and agriculture.
Public Safety: Protection against expensive floods, droughts, and wildfires.
Future Prosperity: Long-term stability over short-term economic liquidation.
WHAT WE’RE CALLING FOR
We need a modern Headwaters Protection and Restoration Act. We demand enforceable legislation that:
Sets clear ecological limits for land use in headwater regions.
Manages cumulative impacts across the whole watershed, not just project by project.
Permanently protects critical areas from industrial disturbance.
Prioritizes the restoration of damaged lands alongside protection.
The Eastern Slopes are Alberta’s lifeline. Once they are destroyed, they may never fully recover.

We cannot and will not let this government continue to see only obscene profit at the expense of our precious natural resources.We must stand shoulder to shoulder against the short sighted government hell bent for profit.This government should be ashamed of the way they continue steam to roll over everything and everybody to fill their greedy little pockets. Enough is enough, the UCP's days are numbered.
I’m supporting the movement because this is our backyard - I want to keep the water and the land clean, the wildlife thriving and preserve this place for future generations.
To save our land for future generations.
We need to protect the planet. We can’t keep damaging it for the sake of “profit”.
