Purpose

The purposes for which the West Central Airshed Society was formed are:

1. to provide a forum for discussion and co-ordination of matters related to the management of an airshed monitoring and management program for the Zone.  Monitoring programs will be designed to identify and quantify air quality concerns and the Board will develop and implement options to address concerns identified.
2. to promote understanding between the Society, governments, stakeholders, the public, other airshed zones and other organizations about environmental impacts of activities inside and outside the airshed in regard to air quality within the airshed.
3. to identify and quantify on a credible basis air quality concerns, and use the data to recommend and implement airshed management solutions for the Zone.
4. to coordinate and integrate airshed monitoring and management activities within the Zone with the provincial policies and guidelines as developed by Clean Air Strategic Alliance (CASA) and/or Provincial air quality stakeholders in their respective areas of authority.
