About

Since 2016, Alberta Ecotrust’s annual Environmental Gathering has been a hub for connection, learning, and collaboration on climate and environmental solutions in Alberta. The Gathering, focusing on a different theme each year, brings together people from all sectors, including non-profits, government, the building industry, energy, academia, and Indigenous and local communities, who are passionate about sustainability in Alberta.

Environmental Gathering 2026: Connected by Nature

The 2026 Gathering will explore how restoring and protecting nature strengthens Alberta’s communities. With a focus on nature-based solutions and conservation, we’ll look at how healthy ecosystems support climate resilience, local economies, cultural continuity and community well-being.

Through real-world examples and shared dialogue, we’ll highlight the deep connections between people and the land, and how investing in nature helps Albertans thrive.

When: November 17 and 18, 2026

Where: Calgary, AB | cSPACE Marda Loop and Carriage House Hotel & Conference Centre
