The Lacombe Fish and Game Association (
LFGA) is a membership organization dedicated
to promoting, through education and programs, the conservation and utilization of fish
and wildlife, and to protect and enhance the habitat they depend upon for current and
future generations. Our club is based in and focused on the region surrounding Lacombe
Alberta Canada, and is a chapter of the Alberta Fish and Game Association.
LFGA Club Achievements
- LFGA owns two habitat areas of approximately 160 acres, and are the Habitat Stewards on
an additional 480 acres of prime habitat.

2000 rainbow trout into each one helps to secure an excellent fishery for local youth.

bring your views to the Game managers of Alberta, and keep you up to date on wildlife &
