Sixty people attended the March 2026 workshop, A Shared Foundation: Advancing Remediation Innovation Through Policy and Technology, sponsored by the Alberta Chapter, CLRA and Alberta Innovates. Participants held a variety of roles addressing contamination in multiple sectors with varying years of experience but were mostly project managers with 20+ years of experience working on upstream oil and gas sites.
By the end of the Workshop, there was a clear recognition that innovation in remediation is not only possible but imperative – if cost, regulatory, and cultural barriers are addressed. The discussion generated a rich inventory of promising technologies and improvement opportunities which can inform strategic initiatives going forward.
