Call for Input: Alberta Environmental Monitoring System

Initiative: 
Alberta Environmental Monitoring System
Deadline:

While this is not a hard deadline, the Panel is expected to issue its report & recommendations in June 2011. Please make your submisssions ASAP.

Alberta’s independent Environmental Monitoring Panel is tasked with developing recommendations for a world-class environmental monitoring evaluation and reporting system.

The new system will be province-wide with an initial focus on water, air, land and biodiversity monitoring in the Lower Athabasca River Basin. The Panel would like to hear from Albertans on what they believe a world-class environmental monitoring and reporting system would include.
