Description

Albertans expect their government to lead the way in reducing the environmental impact of its business practices. This is why the Government of Alberta adopted the Greening Government Strategy. The strategy, which was approved by Cabinet on April 28, 2010, outlines a coordinated, strategic approach that will build a government-wide culture that embraces environmental action. 2010-11 was an exciting time as it marked the first year of implementation, demonstrating the Government of Alberta’s commitment to reduce its environmental footprint. Implementation activities really began to take shape and a strong focus was placed on building a culture of green throughout the Government of Alberta.
