Alberta Emerald Foundation

about

We're Alberta's environmental good-news storytellers! We're committed to providing year-round programming that engages, informs, and empowers environmental stewardship in our province.

Our programs showcase our province’s leaders who are raising the bar in addressing local, regional, and global environmental & climate issues. By highlighting these leaders and sharing their stories, we support our community to meet the challenges ahead and contribute to a more sustainable future for all.

Our Mission

To showcase, inspire, and empower Alberta’s environmental achievements.

We Value

- Promoting environmental leadership

- Communications and collaborating with others

- Ensuring the integrity and credibility of the Foundation

- Engaging the next generation.

We are committed to providing year-round programming that engages, informs, and emboldens environmental stewardship in our province. What began as the Emerald Awards in 1992, our flagship program, has evolved into a 12-month conversation.

We have expanded our capacity and programming into a robust communications strategy that showcases our province’s environmental achievements, and funding opportunities that educate and empower Alberta’s next generation. This progression allows for a larger positive environmental impact that benefits individuals and communities all across our province.

We do this through the generous support of our sponsors who are dedicated to creating a bright future for our province and our planet.

The Alberta Emerald Foundation acknowledges and honours that we operate on Treaty 6, Treaty 7, and Treaty 8 territories, of which we have been beneficiaries since their signing. We extend our hands in peace and friendship to all Indigenous peoples who have made these places their homes since time immemorial.

We are grateful for the journey we are on as treaty people, with the responsibility and opportunity to carry forward and renew the spirit and intent of those agreements. To learn, to grow, to celebrate this journey of discovery, and to share our stories as long as the sun shines, the grass grows, and the rivers flow.

We call forward the spirit of tatawaw which in nehiyawewin means “Welcome, there is room” to guide us as we do our part to make Alberta a more welcoming and sustainable place to live for all.
