Officials say Lacombe County is committed to supporting its resident’s understanding of environmental sustainability and aiding them in making decisions that consider their relationships to natural systems, communities, and future generations.

Earlier this year, Lacombe County implemented the Environmental Community Engagement Program, which replaced the Environmental Improvement Grant program.

The Environmental Community Engagement Program will run for three years and comprises three components: a wetland education program, an environmental stewardship award, and a resident environmental sustainability program.
