EDMONTON, AB – As the topic of climate change grows increasingly paramount in the world and especially our province, the Alberta Emerald Foundation acts as Alberta’s environmental good-news storyteller, connecting environmental leaders and providing a voice to share positive examples to inspire others. The 28th Annual Emerald Awards will recognize and celebrate environmental excellence across all sectors in Alberta. A third-party panel of knowledgeable judges has selected three finalists per category, ranging everywhere from government to business to education, one of which will be named the category recipient. The Emerald Awards ceremony will be joined by host Lauren Hunter of SONiC 102.9 Radio.
Date: Tuesday, June 4, 2019
Time: Awards Ceremony from 4-6PM with reception to follow
Location: Triffo Theatre at MacEwan University (11110-104 Avenue NW)
Parking information is available on the MacEwan University website.
The Alberta Emerald Foundation is committed to providing year-round programming that engages, informs, and emboldens environmental stewardship in our province. What began as the Emerald Awards in 1992 has evolved into a 12 month conversation. Join that discussion and more at the 28th Annual Emerald Awards!
