Clean Air Network

Over 20 locally based air quality groups exist throughout British Columbia.  These groups range from groups of interested community members to formal airshed planning committees, and locally-established non-governmental organizations to government organizations.  Each group's available resources (time, finances, staff, volunteers, etc.) vary, but every group works with the common goal of addressing local air quality.
 

The BC Lung Association serves as a resource to the various air quality groups around the province.  In the interest of allowing for a greater collaboration of ideas and sharing of resources amongst these air quality groups, the BC Lung Association (based on requests from air quality groups) initiated the formation of a 'network' concept.  Through funding received from the BC Ministry of Environment (Summer 2006), the BC Lung Association is now in the stages of implementing this network.
 

Objectives of the Network

To facilitate increased collaboration and the sharing of information/resources amongst locally based air quality groups throughout the province.  In so doing, to build capacity at the local level in addressing air quality issues and create synergies province-wide.
