Former Councillor On Trilateral Group

Bonnie Stowkowy, P.Eng., Works On Free Trade Environmental Issues

A prominent Alberta professional engineer and past APEGGA councillor is one of 12 Canadians recently named to a commission on North American environmental issues. Bonnie Stowkowy, P.Eng., vice-president of environmental and regulatory policy for the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association in Calgary, now sits on the Commission for Environmental Cooperation's national advisory committee.

Also named to the committee on May 28 was fellow Albertan Paul Hunt, the vice-president of Climate Change Central in Calgary. Federal Environment Minister David Anderson also made appointments to two other committees of the commission -- the joint public advisory committee and the committee on the North American Fund for Environmental Cooperation.
The Commission for Environmental Cooperation is an international organization created by Canada, the United States and Mexico to complement the environmental provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement. It addresses regional environmental concerns, helps prevent trade and environmental conflicts, and promotes enforcement of environmental law.
Ms Stowkowy, 43, served on APEGGA Council from 1997 to 2000.
