Environment


We consider ourselves to be an "environmentally aware" community.  With over 50 kilometers of paved trails, our residents enjoy our parks and open spaces at a leisurely pace.  Our Wetlands Conservation Area area cleans stormwater run-off naturally and has a variety of flora and fauna for all to enjoy.
 
                        

The City promotes recycling within our community through the Curbside Recycling Program.
 
 
In addition, the City of Fort Saskatchewan is proud to be a part of the Life in the Heartland initiative that partners industry associations, municipalities and emergency response agencies to provide up-todate information for citizens on air, water, land use, transportation, industry development and noise.
 
Community Sustainability Plan
 
In December 2009, City Council adopted the Community Sustainability Plan for Fort Saskatchewan. The plan talks about our Natural Environment as the foundation for all other elements of sustainability. To learn more, click HERE.
 
The complete community Sustainability Plan can be found under City Government, Reports and Studies.
 

Environmental Awareness Committee
The Environmental Awareness Committee was formed by the City of Fort Saskatchewan Council in the spring of 1990, to advise Council on local environmental issues. The Committee is made up of voluntary representatives of the public, industry, the Elk Island School Board, Alberta Health Services, and Fort Saskatchewan City Council.
