International board seeks public input on St. Mary, Milk river water access
Residents in the Lethbridge area are being asked to weigh in on proposals to improve shared water access along two key waterways this week.
Why it matters
The St. Mary and Milk rivers are a shared cross-border water source, and changes to access could affect agriculture and communities in southern Alberta.
An international study board examining ways to improve water access to the St. Mary and Milk rivers is holding public engagement sessions this week to gather feedback from residents.
The board is seeking input on potential approaches to managing and improving access to the two rivers, which flow across the Alberta-Montana border and are shared resources between Canada and the United States.
Details on session times and locations were included in the board's public notice, with organizers encouraging local residents and stakeholders to participate and share their views on the study.
