Vision

CEMA's vision is that:

The environment of the region, including the land, forest, air, water, wildlife and biodiversity, will be protected, sustained, and restored over the long term and that the collective activity of industrial activity in the region will not cause any lasting harm to the environment or adverse effects to the health of humans. Should these impacts be evident, the Association and its Members will recommend, promote and implement mitigation action to reverse their effects.

Purpose

CEMA's purpose is to:
  • Provide a forum for its stakeholders to discuss and make consensus- based decisions, forming the basis for action by members, and recommendations to Alberta Environment’s Regional Sustainable Development (RSDS), as appropriate, on managing the region’s cumulative environmental effects. Thereby forming the core of a proactive regional environment management system that addresses cumulative biophysical, health and recourses-use impacts of regional developments.
  • Develop and apply environmental management tools, thresholds, guidelines and objectives.
