From Alice Davis, the new Managing Director of the Citizens' Environmental Alliance

Hello CEA members and followers.

As you may be aware, Jeff Olson recently stepped down as the Chairperson of CEA this spring, and I have agreed to take up the reins!

Many of you may know me; others may not know me as well.  My background, like Jeff’s, is in watershed planning, and I am currently the Manager of the Lower Qu’Appelle Watershed Stewards where I have worked for the last 10 years. Our office is located in Esterhazy and I live at Birds Point on Round Lake just north of Whitewood in the beautiful Qu’Appelle Valley. 

It is extremely important to me, and I am sure many of you believe, that we keep the good work that Jeff has been doing, moving forward. We will continue to work as a team and with so many of us that come with different professional backgrounds and opinions that as a group we’ll be able to fill Jeff’s shoes.

With that being said, I look forward to getting CEA up and active again and working with all of you as we continue to move forward with the mission and vision we all share. I look forward to seeing you all in the near future. It may take some time and effort but we will get there! 

We wish you all the best Jeff!

Alice Davis

CEA Chairperson

The Citizens Environmental Alliance is a Saskatchewan, not for profit, organization that consists of citizens throughout Saskatchewan and western Canada from all walks of life including civil servants, academia, students, farmers, ranchers, professional engineers, clergy and retired people.  These people live in urban, rural, First Nation and Metis communities.

Vision

Working together to protect the environment for all generations now and into the future.

Mission

To create a cleaner safer environment by working together with our neighbors to improve local, provincial and national water management strategies.

Goals

CEA's target issue goals presently include Saskatchewan's Agricultural Water Management Strategy which will license all illegal farmland drainage in the province without any environmental assessment process. This will exacerbate the environmental impacts on water quality, hydrology, wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, and carbon releases to name just a few. These environmental effects are felt throughout Saskatchewan and into Manitoba.
