The Alberta Environmental Network (AEN) connects Albertans and environmental groups that are dedicated to preserving and protecting Alberta’s environment. As a non-profit and non-partisan organization, the AEN supports collaboration of the environmental community throughout the province.
We are a network of individuals and groups working together on shared concerns. AEN members include individuals and representatives from member groups that connect, collaborate and share information.
The AEN is a link between the environmental community and government, industry, the media and all Albertans.
Albertans and environmental groups are welcome to join the AEN as members – there are memberships for both individuals and groups. Members contribute to preserving and protecting Alberta’s environment by sharing information and collaborating on shared issues. Learn more about becoming a member of the AEN.
The AEN supports an inclusive and diverse environmental community for all Albertans.
Here are the latest updates, action alerts and calls for consultations. Contact us to submit your news and have it distributed to the network.
The December 10th issue of the Canadian Environmental Network's Weekly E-Bulletin is now available at the CEN website.

In a decision released yesterday, the Honourable Justice Berger dismissed an application by 1006335 Alberta Inc. for leave to appeal the decision of
the Clearwater County Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB).
In their June 2004 decision, the SDAB had denied 1006355 Alberta Inc. a development permit for their proposed Abraham Glacier Wellness Resort.

In summary, the evidentiary deficiencies noted by the SDAB are incapable of being overcome.” Read More

and candidate unwillingness or inability to respond to a recent AWA environmental survey is indicative of how an issue of central importance to Albertans is being ignored. Read More
