  • See the Responses to the AEN Environmental Platform Survey
    Alberta Election 2019 Environmental Platform Survey Results The Alberta Environmental Network connects Albertans and environmental groups that are dedicated to preserving and protecting Alberta’s environment. We are a non-partisan and non-advocacy group that does not take a position on issues but rather supports and enables collaboration amongst our members. In March 2019, we asked Alberta’s seven major political parties with candidates in the provincial election to com- plete a brief survey on their environmental platform. This questionnaire was an opportunity for every political party to speak on topics that are important to our members. We received survey responses from: • Alberta Liberal Party • Alberta New Democratic Party • Green Party of Alberta (one page response) • United Conservative Party These parties declined to complete the survey or did not respond to the survey request: • Alberta Party • Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta • Independence Party of Alberta Here are the 15 questions we asked Alberta’s political parties and the unedited responses that were submitted. For more information about this survey, contact Natalie Odd, Executive Director of the Alberta Environmental Network, at [email protected]. About the Alberta Environmental Network The Alberta Environmental Network (AEN) connects individuals, groups and organizations that are working toward a common purpose to share information and resources. We facilitate dialogue between environ- mental groups, government and other stakeholders. To build the capacity of environmental groups, we provide training and support. We encourage fair process in governance and decision-making in local and provincial governments. As a non-advocacy group, the AEN does not take a position on issues but rather supports collaboration.

Today in AB On the schedule The legislature will reconvene on March 18 for the government’s final throne speech before the spring election. Election readiness events take centre stage as parties prepare for writ drop Premier Rachel Notley rallied party faithful at a campaign kickoff in Calgary on Thursday, a day ​ ​ ​ ​ ahead of the official election period. Per the Elections Act, February 1 marked the start of the campaign period and was the first day the premier had the option of calling the election. Under the act, the election can be called anytime between February 1 and May 3. Notley has previously stated the election will be held within the legislated time frame prescribed in the legislation, but has not yet set a date. Pundits are betting the writ will be dropped soon after the March 18 throne speech. “Make no mistake — the choice ahead is the starkest Albertans have faced in decades, a choice for how we build the future and a choice for whom that future is built,” Notley said at the rally. “Is it built for everyday families, workers, everyday Albertans, or is it built for those at the top — elite political insiders and the wealthiest one per cent?” With Notley’s popularity polling higher than her party’s, the NDP’s messaging has pivoted to building “Team Rachel.” Dozens of candidates and MLAs stood behind Notley on stage holding signs reading, “Rachel Notley.
