| March 26, 2004 - 2003 was a busy year for Ecotrust; we approved $283,033 in grants for 29 projects across Alberta. On March 26th, 55 guests attended Alberta Ecotrust's Annual General Meeting to learn about what we accomplished in 2003.
Out-going ENGO Co-chair Cliff Wallis welcomed guests and gave the year in review, while out-going Corporate Co-chair Martin Holysh brought the meeting to a close and gave an emotional goodbye to his fellow committee members, some of whom have worked together with him for several years.
A slide presentation showcased the collective vision of leadership that Alberta Ecotrust supports. It celebrates the vision of individuals, the commitment of organizations and the meaningful contributions we cooperatively add to the communities in which we live.
Treasurer John Bamford then demonstrated how Ecotrust invested in the environment in 2003.
