NEW Project: Alberta Watershed Toolkit!

We are also thrilled to welcome Beverly Anderson, colleague and watershed planning expert as the NEW Project Manager for the Alberta Watershed Toolkit: Enabling Active Stewardship!!

Alberta's watersheds are the lifeblood of our economy, our wildlife, and our way of life. Our communities are the stewards of these watersheds and we need the best tools in the box to manage our collective impacts on these precious ecosystems!

Working with water stewards from across Alberta we will contribute to the development of a Watershed Toolkit of best management practices and examples of stewardship, templates for water conservation initiatives, and a showcase of community leadership in watershed management.

Crowd Sourcing Sustainability

Sustainability Resources is working with community leaders and professionals from across Alberta to select and refine curriculum focus areas. With an emphasis on advancing our ability to sustain the integrity of our ecological and community assets, we build and deliver educational experiences that enable policy development, programs and initiatives for water and sustainable community development.

Community Resilience Toolkit

Pathways 2 Sustainability 2011 participants outlined a path for Alberta communities to achieve resilience at Pathways 2011! We are now seeking to work with a small group of Legacy Volunteers to steer the development of a Resilient Community Toolkit for Alberta. Contact us to learn more.
