Patrick Long

A resident of Peace River, Mr. Long lived in northwestern Alberta since being transferred to Grande Prairie with the Fish and Wildlife Division in 1975. In 1981, he transferred to Peace River to assume responsibility for the law enforcement and problem wildlife programs in the Peace Country. In 1992, Patrick was promoted to Regional Director, carrying responsibility for all Fish and Wildlife, Parks and Water Management programs in northwestern Alberta. He continued to hold the position of Director until his retirement with 31 years service in 2002.

Since retiring, Patrick has come to realize his desire to maintain some level of involvement in managing fish and wildlife resources in this province. While his interests include all outdoor pastimes, hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing have remained passions of his since being instilled by family while growing up on a farm in central Alberta.

Other interests include:

• family;
• his small farm located northeast of Peace River;
• working on a part-time, contract basis with Fairview College-NAIT;
• involvement with the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Alberta Fish and Game Association;
• promoting youth involvement in outdoor pursuits;
• building and operating a fishing lodge on Lesser Slave Lake and
• spoiling “Dawg”, his golden retriever.

Patrick believes that his background and experience, interests and being a longtime resident of the Peace Country gives him the qualifications to sit as a board member with the Alberta Conservation Association.
