Connecting Alberta’s environmental groups

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.

Building-Integrated Solar Power Systems

Steve Wiebe, PEng, MBA
ETI Solar, Edmonton

Individuals and businesses are generating their own power and connecting these new solar power systems to the grid in Canada. Connection to the grid eliminates the battery storage requirement because power can be bought and sold through a process of net metering or net billing. Steve will discuss all aspects as they may apply in Alberta. Read More

Run for Wilderness There's No Race Quite LIke It!

Alberta Wilderness Association

There are street races, there are fun runs; there are even marathons. But there is no race quite like the Run for Wilderness at the Calgary Tower on Saturday April 22. A one kilometer run around the base of the Tower, followed by a sprint up the 802 stairs to the top, is enough to challenge the toughest of competitors.

This year, Alderman Diane Colley-Urquhart will be leading the charge. "The key to this day is getting out and being involved with others in our community," says Alderman Colley-Urquhart. "We live in a beautiful city that leads the country in citizen involvement. I'm delighted to be at the starting line and lead by example." Read More
