Solutions-Oriented Sessions on Sour Gas and its Development

Pembina Agricultural Protection Association

Increasing expansion of sour gas development in populated areas and a history of releases in the Pembina area have resulted in threats to human, animal and environmental health and safety as well as a lack of public trust in the processes meant to regulate sour gas development. One consequence has been a call for grassroots education regarding energy development, provincial policies and regulations, emergency planning, fair compensation, and strategies for collaboration among citizens and groups concerned about sour gas impacts. The “Solutions-Oriented Sessions on Sour Gas and its Development” project responds to the call through the creation of a slate of educational materials and their delivery to concerned citizens via a series of public meetings.
