News / Politics / Activism UPDATE: Ghost PLUZ Cleanup Day
Yesterday, I made a post about my experience at Ghost PLUZ earlier this week. The place was an absolute mess, and I was disgusted to say the least. I posted about how bad the place had gotten and asked if anyone in the Calgary area would like to volunteer to clean up the area, to help keep our spots open and available. I was pleasantly surprised to see the sheer volume of amazing people, willing to volunteer their labour to help clean up.
As a personal side note, I am 21 years old and have only gotten into shooting recently. I was 19 when I bought my first real gun, and since then I have had a ton of fun exploring this hobby. My immediate family doesn’t hunt or shoot, so I’m the first in my household to get into guns. This hobby has the most amazing and respectful community. Almost everyone I have met on public land while shooting, has been a friend to me. They are kind, respectful and eager to welcome the younger generation into this sport. However, day after day, I see our hobby become more of a political scapegoat. I see higher ups in the government, blatantly lying about their actions and intentions, targeting the most law abiding citizens in Canada. This, combined with the horrendous state of public land I witnessed, makes me very fearful for the future of our hobby.
If you are passionate about sport-shooting, hunting or other activities, and want to keep this hobby available to you and future generations, it would be greatly appreciated for you to join us.
If you live in or around the Calgary area, and want to do your part, please comment/upvote a day when you are available. If we can even get a few people out here, it would make a huge difference.
EDIT: How would Saturday, May 23rd work for everyone? Let me know in the comments :)
