The area along the North and South sides of the Wapiti River, including the Dunes, have a number of different and sometimes conflicting land uses: residential, industrial, and recreational.  Additionally, all users must deal with the issues of resource usage, fires, sustainability, preservation, and enforcement.  A committee of user groups, property owners, industry, and municipal & provincial government representatives has been established to create a Concept Plan that balances these uses.  The committee is currently in the early stages of development and if you are interested in being part of the group, please visit our website at http://www.wapiticorridor.ca/ or call 780-513-3950 for more information.
