Alberta Ecotrust Foundation extends our sincere congratulations to all newly elected mayors and councillors across Alberta. Your leadership and commitment to your communities play a crucial role in shaping a sustainable and prosperous future for our province. As an environmental organization working in partnership with municipalities, community organizations and industry, Alberta Ecotrust is dedicated to advancing environmental and climate solutions across our three focus areas: nature-based solutions and conservation, circular economy, and climate resilience and emissions reductions. We look forward to collaborating with councils and administrations across Alberta to continue this important work. Whether through our Climate Innovation Fund, our Emissions-Neutral Buildings Information Exchange (enbix.ca), the Alberta Coalition for Watershed Security or our Retrofit Accelerator program, we are committed to supporting municipalities in achieving their environmental and economic goals. Congratulations once again, and thank you for your service to your communities and to Alberta’s future. (fb)
