EMERALD AWARDS

McLennan Ross is proud to be a founding sponsor and continuing patron of the Emerald Awards. The awards were created by the Alberta Foundation for Environmental Excellence to recognize the outstanding initiative and leadership of Albertans in meeting environmental challenges. All individuals, organizations and corporations throughout the province are encouraged to participate.

The Alberta Foundation for Environmental Excellence was founded in the fall of 1991 to recognize the outstanding initiative and leadership Albertans are demonstrating in the face of many environmental challenges. The Foundation brings together a group of resourceful organizations committed to ensure recognition of the significant strides being made by Albertans to protect, preserve and enhance our environment.
