Four more notable Canadians encourage Alberta Premier to proceed with park as tribute to Andy Russell

CALGARY, AB – Four more notable Canadians have added their voices to the rapidly growing chorus encouraging the Alberta Government to proceed with the establishment of the Andy Russell - I'tai sah kòp Park in memory of Andy Russell and his wife Kay, and in recognition of the Piikani (Peigan) First Nation.
