The Bow Valley Clean Air Society (BVCAS) is a non-profit society based in Canmore, Alberta that envisions the Bow Valley region with the highest quality of air and free from sources of air emissions negatively affecting people, the environment, and the climate.
The Bow Valley is a unique and beautiful valley characterized by clean, crisp mountain air and clear views of glorious mountain peaks. These attributes continue to attract more people to the Bow Valley and result in expanding residential areas and tourism in the valley. The Bow Valley is also a major transportation corridor and industrial center. These factors are placing increasing pressure on the air quality of the Bow Valley.
We are working to expand our knowledge of air quality issues in the Bow Valley and our ability to respond to and address these issues is increasing.
Our Mission – is to improve and protect the air quality in the Bow Valley and minimize regional contributions to climate change

Quote of the Week
The world’s forests need to be seen for what they are.. giant global utilities, providing essential services to humanity on a vast scale. Rainforests store carbon, which is lost to the atmosphere when they burn, increasing global warming. The life they support cleans the atmosphere of pollutants and feeds it with moisture. They help regulate our climate and sustain the lives of some of the poorest people on this Earth.
