RENEWED CLEAN AIR STRATEGY FOR ALBERTA

The Government of Alberta has released its Renewed Clean Air Strategy to reaffirm its commitment to the management of air quality for the benefit of all Albertans. Beginning in 2008, The Clean Air Strategic Alliance (CASA) brought together 47 representatives from industry, government and non government organizations who contributed their energy to over 5400 hours of project work developing CASA’s recommendations for the renewed strategy.
