Calvin Rakach

Cal is a fourth-generation Albertan, who in his childhood years traveled and lived throughout the world as his family moved from assignment to assignment in the oilpatch. He now has close to thirty-years experience himself in the oilpatch, involving environmental management, reclamation, public affairs and as a land agent.

In more recent years, Cal has been heavily involved in the access planning processes along the Eastern Slopes and northeastern Alberta. Much of his work has been to promote responsible use of the backcountry and supporting stewardship groups to get projects completed on the ground. By joining the ACA in a leadership role, Cal felt his extensive knowledge base and affiliations with outdoorsmen would provide him the ability to give back something positive to the conservation of Alberta’s natural resources.

Cal lives in Sundre with his family, all who have an insatiable love for outdoor activities. No matter what time of the year, it is not uncommon to see the Rakach family packing up the truck, camper and gear to head out to the bush for the weekend. Cal now spends time with his son and daughter teaching them how to fish, hunt and respect the land.
