We Have New Partners!
Welcome to Devon Canada Corporation and the Miistakis Institute for the Rockies!
A donor for the past six years, Devon is familiar with and impressed by the opportunity that Alberta Ecotrust provides them to connect with and support the ENGO movement in Alberta. In addition to their commitment of $30,000, Amit Saxena, Environmental Advisor, will become and active member of the grant review committee.
A grant recipient for the past eight years, the Miistakis Institute will provide valuable input from the ENGO community. Danah Duke, Executive Director of the Miistakis Institute, will add her expertise to Alberta Ecotrust's grant review committee.
Congratulations Peace Parkland Naturalists

won Alberta Ecotrusts's $15,000
