In December, 2008 the Alberta Water Council approved a new process for bringing forward concerns and issues, in addition to regular strategic planning activities. The new process involves submitting a Statement of Opportunity to the board to request the services of the Council in resolving an issue or concern. A Statement of Opportunity can be submitted to the Council's Executive Director at any time during the year and should outline why the issue is a priority and how the Council can help address it. Any individual or organization considering preparing a Statement of Opportunity should review the two short documents provided here and then contact the Council's Executive Director to discuss the process in more detail.
