TheGreen Industry Show and Conference is back in Edmonton for 2016! Our amazing team of staff and volunteers have put together a conference programme aimed to inform and inspire everyone from designers to arborists, owners to students, growers to contractors. Our conference sessions are timely and responsive to industry issue - with an updated format for 2016 that focuses on variety with 32 one-hour sessions over the two days.
New this year are two full-day pre-conference workshops designed to fill the need of more in-depth technical level professional development. This year we have two sessions: one for Greenhouse growers, and the other for Landscape Designers.
Landscape Alberta members receive preferred pricing on conference registrations, including complimentary trade show access if you pre-register.

Have Your Say - New Damage Prevention Regulations
The National Energy Board has brought new Damage Prevention Regulations into law and we are asking Canadians for input into the engagement strategies that would be the best ways to reach relevant parties about these new Regulations.
As part of these efforts, the National Energy Board (NEB) has launched a brief survey for Canadians to submit their feedback on engagement tools, methods of outreach and key messages. The feedback that is received will help inform the NEB on its engagement strategy.
This survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and will be
online HERE until September 30, 2016. We encourage you to forward this to all those who may be interested in taking this survey.
The results will be published on the
NEB’s Damage Prevention web page
on November 1, 2016.
