The Alberta government is investing $7 million to restore and protect watersheds across the province, aiming to enhance flood and drought resilience. In Medicine Hat, this funding supports a project where students will gain hands-on experience in bioengineering techniques for stabilizing riverbanks, combining environmental restoration with education. Minister of Environment and Protected Areas, Rebecca Schulz, emphasized that these initiatives not only assist landowners but also lead to cleaner water, thriving ecosystems, and a healthier environment for both people and wildlife.
