Alberta Launches New Online Portal to Improve Water Management Communication in the Province

Alberta launches new online portal

Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (EPA) has launched a new online tool, the Regulatory Dialogue Portal, to enhance communication and responsiveness around regulatory approvals related to water and environmental protection.

This platform supports approvals under the Water Act and the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA). It directly responds to Resolution 6-23, passed by Albertaโ€™s Agricultural Service Boards, calling for more vigorous enforcement and better communication on water management concerns.
