Action Alert: Hydrogen Sulphide Emergency Response Planning levels

From: Martha Kostuch

Apparently Alberta Health has recommended to the EUB that the H2S (hydrogen sulphide) level for modelling Emergency Response Planning Zones (EPZs) be changed to 100 ppm for 30 minutes from the current level which is 100 ppm for 3 minutes. I believe Alberta Health's recommendation is scientifically questionable and is not in the public interest.

Apparently Albera Health has also told the EUB that the EUB must accept Alberta Health's recommendation. Read More

Conservation Groups React to Alberta Environment's Appeal of Recent Judicial Review Decision

Castle-Crown Wilderness Coalition
Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society

For Immediate Release August 19, 2004

The Castle-Crown Wilderness Coalition (CCWC) and the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) are disappointed that Alberta Environment will appeal the recent result of a Judicial Review that quashed the departments decision not to order an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the expansion proposed at Castle Mountain Resort (CMR). On July 2nd 2004, the Court of Queen's Bench found Alberta Environment's decision to approve the real estate and ski terrain development at CMR without an EIA "patently unreasonable", and ordered the department to reconsider its decision in accordance with the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act.

Truth & Reconciliation at AEN

Learn more about our process and progress, and share your thoughts with us, on our Decolonization and Indigenization page.

It is our understanding at the Alberta Environmental Network that Reconciliation starts with the land, and there is no Reconciliation until we have faced the Truth. While Truth is held collectively, we recognize everyone is on their own learning journey, at their own pace. Our work at AEN focuses on the lands outlined by the Province of Alberta, lands with which we are learning to be in kinship relationship, in the nêhiyaw (Cree) spirit of treaty-making. The lands we work for are described in Treaties 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. The traditional keepers of this land are Anishinabe, Nêhiyawak (Cree), Dené, Dane-zaa, Nakota, Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda), Tsuut’ina, and Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy); this land is also the homeland of the Métis. We are committed to building meaningful reciprocal relationships, to be of service particularly to those directly experiencing the effects of oppression, genocide, and exploitation.
