The Alberta Emerald Awards gala takes place in Edmonton each even year and in Calgary in the odd years. Over 500 people attend the event to celebrate excellence and provide support and encouragement to those who work so hard to help preserve and enhance our environment.
A reception follows the awards ceremony enabling recipients and finalists to meet with patrons and sponsors of the Emerald Foundation, government representatives, corporate leaders and Foundation members.
The Emerald Foundation gratefully acknowledges the outstanding support we receive from our patrons and sponsors, which allows the Foundation to showcase environmental excellence in Alberta, setting an example for others to follow.
