In 2017, the human and capital resources that support two multi-stakeholder organizations which provide their members with provincial-scale environmental management advice were amalgamated to optimize operational efficiencies between the organizations. The organizations follow similar processes, however remain independent with distinct mandates and maintain their own board of directors and executive committee. Under the direction of a Board of Directors, multi-stakeholder teams are created to address water and air management issues and identify potential solutions through a consensus-based decision making process.
