Who are the true land reclamation experts? ๐Ÿฆซ๐Ÿฆ‰๐Ÿ

This fall, weโ€™re handing them the mic. Not the engineers, the regulators, or even our amazing reclamation specialists, weโ€™re talking about the furred, feathered, scaled, buzzing, and burrowing beings who show us whatโ€™s truly working on site.

For the upcoming CLRA Fall/Winter 2026 Issue, we want to hear how wildlife informs your practice. We are looking for scientific summaries, personal insights, and stories that highlight these creatures as our partners and teachers in the field.

๐ŸŒฑ What have you learned from the creatures sharing your sites?

We want the quirky, the profound, the unexpected, and the "I never thought Iโ€™d learn that from a..." moments!

๐Ÿ“ธ Show us your co-workers!
Every submission should include at least one great photo of your favorite site buddy, whether they are majestic, mischievous, or microscopic.

โฐ Submissions are due before September 1st, 2026.

๐Ÿ’ป Grab your lunch and join us for a deep dive into the future of Alberta remediation! ๐Ÿฅช๐Ÿ’ก

On Wednesday, June 24th, the CLRA Alberta Chapter is hosting a special virtual Lunch & Learn summarizing the feedback and strategies developed during our massive spring workshop with Alberta Innovates: โ€œA Shared Foundation: Advancing Remediation Innovation Through Policy and Technology.โ€

Sixty site practitioners came together to identify the roadblocks holding back field innovationโ€”and how the industry can overcome them. This session condenses their real-world findings down into a packed 1-hour presentation.

๐Ÿ” What weโ€™ll be covering:
- How to leverage modern innovation from initial assessment to final closure.
- Making sampling and data collection a stronger backbone for your projects.
- Real opportunities to scale up technology-enabled remediation tools.
- Strategic ways to improve your regulatory submissions from problem to solution.

If you are a practitioner, industry partner, or environmental student looking to stay ahead of regional policy and technical trends, you won't want to miss this update!

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ When: June 24, 2026, from 12:00 PM โ€“ 1:00 PM MST

Are hazard-based chloride guidelines leading us in the wrong direction?

Join CLRA Prairies for โ€œThe Perils of Hazard-Based Chloride Guidelinesโ€โ€”a deep dive into how current approaches to environmental remediation are being applied, and where they may fall short.

Many guidelines in Alberta and across Canada rely on hazard-based frameworksโ€”but without fully accounting for exposure pathways and real-world risk, are we over- or under-protecting our sites?

This session will challenge assumptions, spark discussion, and provide practical insight for anyone working in reclamation, remediation, or regulatory spaces.
