Welcome to the Regions

Regional Services provides front line delivery of environmental services across the province through three regional teams and a provincial water management operations team. This structure enhances the ability to develop and manage the province’s numerous programs, with support from the community.

Regional offices are located in Edmonton (Northern), Red Deer (Central), Calgary (Southern) and Lethbridge (Water Management Operations).

Operational responsibilities of the Northern, Central and Southern regions include environmental approvals, environmental compliance and environmental management:

• Environmental Approvals: Approvals and registrations protect Alberta's natural resources and environment from possible adverse effects from industrial and municipal development.
• Environmental Compliance: Environmental compliance helps ensure that facilities meet the requirements of their approvals or registrations from Alberta Environment.
• Environmental Management: Ongoing and long-term environmental planning and management ensures a balance between environmental protection and sustainable development.

Water Management Operations is responsible for the operation and maintenance of provincially-owned water management infrastructure and the administration of the Canal and Dam Safety Regulations under the Water Act across all three regions in the province.

Operating provincial water infrastructure (e.g. dams and canals) helps balance the use of water (e.g. irrigation) and reduce the effects of flood and droughts.
