New Government Website for Hunting & Fishing

The folks over at SRD have created a new online community for hunting and fishing in Alberta. Check out MyWild Alberta http://www.mywildalberta.com.

According to the press release . . .

"My Wild Alberta features hunting and fishing information, as well as a
discussion board, events calendar, stories, videos, Alberta’s hunting and
fishing regulations, and links to the Government of Alberta’s online licensing
site,
https://www.albertarelm.com. It will also
highlight key initiatives and programs of the stakeholder
organizations."

Check it out and let us know what you think.

Blog vs Website = Both

It's been a long time (almost a year) since we were last on the blog. Starting today we will be using it more and more for upcoming events and news. We will post duplicate info in both places - the blog and the website. At least for the time being. It depends on the what the members of the RDFGA community want. Heck - we might even get ourselves a Facebook group!

Speaking of the website . . . we've changed the design and layout as part of a major overhaul. We finally have some photos from RDFGA members available for viewing.

BTW . . . you can subscribe to this blog and please do. If you don't know how or need some help with it . . . give me a shout at webmaster@rdfga.ca or leave a comment below this post.

See ya' outside!
