About this work

At the November 2020 board meeting, the AWC approved forming a project team to explore a potential high priority body of work relating to a review of implementation of the Alberta Wetland Policy.

The purpose of the Wetland Policy Implementation Review is to identify potential performance measures for the goal, outcomes, and strategic directions of the Alberta Wetland Policy and describe the challenges, opportunities, or unintended consequences experienced by sectors in the implementation of the Alberta Wetland Policy. This project is intended to support continuous improvement and public reporting on the efficiency and effectiveness of Alberta Wetland Policy’s implementation. 

The Wetland Review project had the following objectives:

  • Preliminary Review: Determine the potential performance measures, challenges, opportunities, and unintended consequences for the policy goal, outcomes, and directions.
  • Cross-Sector Input: Seek cross-sector perspectives on the proposed performance measures and on implementation challenges, opportunities, and unintended consequences to supplement project team perspectives
  • Finalize Review and Report: Describe a select few performance measures for the policy goal, outcomes, and directions, and prioritize across sector perspectives to identify potential priority
