The Trout Trust has 100% lobbying powers, we are bridging the advocacy gap that currently exists. We will work with other groups to take their concerns further. We are not here to displace the existing, valuable conservation groups in place. Our mandate is to not accept funding which could impact our transparency, and ability to lobby and advocate. We will speak directly to Provincial and Federal Ministers and Regulators to ensure our concerns are heard by those with decision making powers.
The Trout Trust have been advised that “anglers cannot agree” which is why we are unrepresented at the Ministerial level. We want to organize ourselves as a collective to message in a unified way that the loss of fish through entrainment must be resolved. Hopefully we can all agree on that. So let’s get on the same page on this one issue and our membership may just make waves in the other areas of concern.
