About the Conference

Theme: Growth, Innovation, and Constant Evolution

The Alberta Chapter of the Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA) will be hosting its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Conference in Edmonton,  Alberta from Wednesday, February 22 to Friday, February 24, 2023.

Our theme this year is brought to you thanks to several requests from members through feedback surveys.  We couldn’t agree more that recent years have seen a significant shift in our industry.  It seems like we’ve gone from squeezed budgets and pleading our cases, to struggling to find the time and resources to fulfill the demand.  The changing social and regulatory climate has spurred a significant influx into the industry, and we have all evolved in response to meet the ever-changing landscape.
