Read MoreAs many of you know from our announcement in early April, we rescheduled the Quebec Reclaim, Restore, Rewild (RE3) conference to June 19 – 24, 2021. We are disappointed to announce today that SWS will withdraw as a host of the rescheduled event due to prior conference commitments for 2021. SER and CLRA are pleased to continue their partnership with Université Laval to host this conference, which will now also serve both as SER’s 9th World Conference on Ecological Restoration (SER2021) and the 2021 CLRA National Conference & General Meeting. All three societies look forward to partnering again in the future, and we deeply hope that members from all the societies will still participate in this event as peatlands are such an important wetland component of Canada’s landscape.

This year's theme was: 'Love Alberta Energy' - Energy has been the foundation of the Alberta economy for generations and continues to be a driver for our way of life.

Read MoreOut of concern for the health and safety of all CLRA members and in respect of the current COVID-19 recommendations issued by the Government of Canada, the National Board of Directors has voted to cancel all face to face CLRA events until further notice.

Read MoreThe theme this year is “Love Alberta Energy”.
Energy has been the foundation of the Alberta economy for generations and continues to be a driver for our way of life. Time has brought diversity to the ways in which we derived energy from what Mother Nature has given us in this province and how we utilize it. Regardless of the energy source, whether it be solar, wind, coal, oil and gas, biomass, geothermal, or hydro, industries experience challenges and success. They continue to seek ways to improve their technology, design, construction, management, and environmental impact. We’d like to share and celebrate how energy “powers” our daily lives by highlighting what we do to keep Albertans and Canadians living well while achieving our environmental commitments and priorities and continually striving forward.
