Apply today to​ join one of EPCOR's Community ​Liaison Groups

We are looking for local people to be part of our Community Liaison Groups for the 2022-2024 term.

​What is a Co​​mmunity Liaison Group?

A Community Liaison Group is:

• A forum for community members to come together and learn about EPCOR's water and wastewater service delivery, operational issues, and programs.
• A way for community members to discuss the community's concerns and aspirations.
• On a project-specific basis, a way to provide feedback that will be directly reflected in the alternatives developed.​
  

Where are​ EPCOR's Community Liaison Groups?

EPCOR is currently recruiting community members in the communities surrounding the following facilities:

• Gold Bar wastewater treatment plant
• French Creek, B.C., water treatment plant
• Kananaskis water and wastewater treatment plant
• Edmonton-wide (discussions will be related to EPCOR's water operations, projects and programs that have city-wide impacts in Edmonton).
  

What are we lookin​​g for?

We are looking for 10-15 members of the community to be part of each group. This will be made up of approximately equal numbers of representatives from community leagues, non-government organizations, and members of the community at large.

We're looking for people who are:

• From diverse backgrounds, circumstances and experiences
• Passionate about their local community​
  

​​​ What does the role involve?

• Engaging as an individual or on behalf of a wider group to provide your insight, views and ideas as a member of the local community.
• Listening to others in the group and respectfully debating ideas and views.
• Helping to share relevant information with the wider community, when needed.​
  

​​​ What is the time commitment?

• We anticipate the initial time commitment to be 3 hours over the first month. The first month will involve a facility tour (if COVID restrictions allow) and an orientation session.
• After your orientation in the first month, we plan to have 2 or 3 meetings per year, with the estimated time commitment around 3-5 hours per meeting. This will include attending meetings, reviewing information and providing feedback and ideas.
• We ask members to sit on the committee for two years.​
  

​​​ What's in it for you?

• Being part of an interesting and important process
• Learning about the process of EPCOR's water and waste water treatment and facilities
• Making sure that the aspirations and concerns of local people like yourself are properly considered
• Developing skills in teamwork, communication and working with others​
