Phil Nykyforuk : The All-Season Resorts Act is an unprecedented threat to Alberta 's parks and protected areas.

The Act allows for the removal of any park or protected area without public consultation, he says.

Many protected areas were created in response to threats of large-scale industrial or commercial development.

As the population grows, we need more parks, not fewer, he writes.

The real value of most of our protected areas is the undeveloped nature-based experience.
