An environmental awards competition that regularly counts
APEGGA members and permit-holders among its winners is calling
for 2004 nominations. The Emerald Awards, created by the
Alberta Foundation for Environmental Excellence to celebrate
Alberta achievements in environmental leadership and initiative,
requires nominations by Feb. 29 in 11 categories.
The awards began in 1992 and typically attract more than
100 nominations. In addition to recognizing the individuals
and groups making a difference, the foundation strives to
develop public awareness of environmental progress in Alberta.
Last year, permit holder and 2003 APEGGA Summit Award® winner
Maria Energy Corp. won in the small business category for
its Heat PowerPlus System, which features on-site generation
and delivery of high-efficiency, reliable and clean heat
and power. A number of other members and permit-holders also
received awards.
Award categories in 2004 are:
• Not-for-Profit Association

An independent panel will judge nominations on commitment
to preservation, protection, enhancement or sustainability
of the environment; and demonstration of a positive, tangible
and long-term impact on air, water or land quality, preservation
of biological diversity, and public or corporate attitudes
toward the environment. Awards will be presented June 9 at
Edmonton’s Winspear Centre.
