Edmonton March Luncheon: The Role of Airsheds in Support of Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan
March 13, 2017 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
CPANS is pleased to announce the March Edmonton Luncheon Topic: The Role of Airsheds in Support of Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan.
Alberta’s Airsheds have played an integral role of monitoring regional ambient air for the past twenty years. By having all stakeholders work through consensus, Airsheds are uniquely capable of providing impartial data and information. Given this public trust in Airsheds, it’s not surprising that Airsheds play an important role in supporting the Government’s Climate Leadership Plan. While our work focusses on monitoring pollutants related to ground level ecosystem health, we know that ecosystem health is influenced by systems outside of the direct area and the impacts of climate change are being felt. Airsheds also do much more than monitor, including being counted upon to provide vital information on air quality to the public, schools, municipalities and non governmental organizations. Increasingly, we are being asked to link our knowledge transfer on air quality with climate change issues.
Presenters: Brent Korobanik and Gary Redmond.
Brent is the Environment Manager of Lehigh Cement as well as the President of the Alberta Capital Airshed and Gary is the Executive Director of the Alberta Capital Airshed.
