UM faculty and alumni appointed to the Manitoba Clean Environment Commission board

Seven faculty and alumni have recently been appointed to the Manitoba Clean Environment Commission (CEC) board, an important arms-length provincial agency under the Environment Act. The CEC serves as a platform for Manitobans to participate in crucial decisions around protecting the environment.

This influential board is made of up of noted academics, community leaders and experts from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. They play a vital role in conducting investigations, public hearings and mediation around environmental management in Manitoba. Their recommendations play a key role in helping the Minister of Environment and Climate Change in shaping policy decisions that will influence the province’s environmental future.
