Excessive vehicle idling can increase air pollution. Watch the recording of our January 19 webinar where we spoke with representatives from the City of St. Albert, the City of Edmonton, and the Alberta Motor Association about their efforts and initiatives to reduce idling.

ACA is hosting a Clean Air webinar to connect within and beyond Alberta to organizations doing work in the air quality field. WCAS is invited to listen and learn about air quality considerations and local action across Canada.
