Compliance Assurance Program

Overview

Alberta's environmental legislation sets out clear rules and obligations for the protection, enhancement and wise use of the environment. The Alberta government works with Albertans to ensure the quality of our environment is maintained, using an effective and efficient regulatory framework.

The Compliance Assurance Program has 3 areas of focus to ensure all Albertans continue to enjoy a clean and healthy environment:

• education
