Environment and Parks Minister Shannon Phillips is hosting a telephone town hall to take questions from Albertans about the Bighorn Country proposal.

The province is proposing a mix of parks and public lands in the Bighorn region it says would preserve natural landscapes while supporting a wide range of world-class tourism and recreation opportunities.

The government will hold a telephone town hall on Thursday, Dec. 13 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

More than 2,000 online submissions have been submitted to the province in addition to several stakeholder meetings that have taken place.

To participate in the telephone town hall, people can dial 1-877-229-8493 and enter code 115500# to join in. Participants can also listen and ask questions online at vekeo.com/youralberta.
