WCAS Newsletter Highlights: Celebrating 30 Years of Air Quality Leadership in West Central Alberta
This month, WCAS celebrates being recognized with a 2026 Emerald Award for Environmental Excellence, honouring three decades of air quality monitoring, education, and community leadership. We also highlight WCAS’s recent outreach at Parkland County Pond Days, the Whitecourt Trade Fair, and the Hinton Seniors Week Kick-Off, where staff connected with residents, students, seniors, and local partners about air quality, wildfire smoke preparedness, AQHI education, and the importance of reliable local monitoring.
