Our neighbors to the east are digging in for a possible legal battle.
The County of Parkland has recently decided NOT to renew The Spruce Grove Gun Club’s development permit, despite complying with and exceeding all federal, provincial and county requirements.
Not unlike our own Ansel Tower Range road, the Spruce Grove Gun Club has been safely operating in a rural area of Parkland County for over 40 years. It appears new development trumps tradition, existing agreements, and law.
The club has retained counsel to effect this appeal and to explore all the future options of the club.
Donations can be given through an established 3rd party fundraising service at:
If you prefer, you can also donate directly to the club via EMT.

Please consider donating. It’s a dangerous precedent when a county can basically bully any law-abiding organization despite a club satisfying all legal requirements.
Hopefully, no precedent is established to facilitate the closure of any ranges across our great country.
