The Emerald Foundation once again seeks nominations of individuals, organizations
and community groups in Alberta that have demonstrated excellence in protecting,
preserving, enhancing and sustaining the environment. Nomination forms for the
2005 Emerald Awards are now available from the Alberta Emerald Foundation for
Environmental Excellence.
APEGGA members and permit holders are typically well represented in the nomination
and winner lists.
Nominations can be made in a wide range of categories, such as small or large
business, research and innovation, education, climate change, corporate or institutional
leadership, individual commitment, youth, not-for-profit association or community
group and government institutions.
In order to be considered for an Emerald Award, the individual or initiative
should show a commitment to preservation, protection, enhancement or sustainability
of the environment. It should show positive, tangible and long-term impact on
quality of air, water or land; preservation of biological diversity; climate
change/greenhouse gas reduction; or public or corporate attitudes toward the
environment.
Nominations close Feb. 28. Finalists will be announced in May and the 14th
Annual Emerald Awards celebration will take place June 7 at the EPCOR Centre
for the Performing Arts in Calgary.
