Since 2016, Alberta Ecotrust's annual Environmental Gathering has been a hub for people to connect, learn and collaborate on climate and environmental solutions in Alberta.

The Gathering welcomes anyone interested in sustainability in Alberta. This includes professionals from all sectors, such as non-profits, government, building industry, energy resources, academia, and Indigenous and local communities.

The theme for the 2025 Gathering, Building Bridges, highlights the importance of trust, collaboration and connection in co-creating a sustainable and resilient future.
