Innovation Anthology #291:
Imagine an environment friendly community built from the ground up.
St. Albert is looking at the possibility for its new development with a 1.6 billion dollar proposal from a Dutch consortium.
That’s the perfect background for the latest round of forums hosted by the Alberta Council of Technologies.
As president Perry Kinkaide explains, the discussions will focus on clean technologies, what Alberta has to offer, and the challenges that lie ahead.
PERRY KINKAIDE: The emerging technologies are changing entirely the way we think about the production of energy, the way we move around, where our food comes from, the water, the waste management. Clean technology is becoming a way of life. Some talk about a changing lifestyle, to be more respectful of the environment, but still drive their SUV’s. And I think St Albert, as a council, is wise in giving this thing a lot of deep thought. I think that all off the components and all of the features of this allow it to evolve over time in such a way to make sure it realizes its objectives and is done in a safe and sustainable way.
The ABC Tech symposiums on Clean Technologies take place in Edmonton on March 1st and in Calgary on March 3rd.
