Welcome to the
Palliser Airshed
The Palliser Airshed Society (PAS) was established in the Spring of 2003 to monitor ambient air quality in the Medicine Hat / Redcliff region and has expanded to cover the southeastern portion of the province. PAS currently maintains four continuous monitoring sites (Medicine Hat, Brooks, Hanna, and Raymond) as well as 16 passive sampling sites, and 20+ micro sensors distributed throughout the airshed.
Collecting and communicating credible ambient air quality data to develop strategies to manage air quality issues within Palliser Airshed
About Palliser Airshed
To achieve recognized credible data, the Palliser Board will manage and design the air monitoring program in consideration of: public input, industrial influences and air modeling results. The design of this Airshed will gather credible data to address the issues most important to the stakeholder membership.
The Association will provide the structure to ensure long-term financial stability of the Airshed. PAS will also provide a forum for open discussion and coordination of all the issues facing the Airshed to allow for effective implementation of the goals and objectives of PAS.

The Palliser Airshed Society would like to thank Air and Watershed Stewardship Branch and Intergovernmental Relations and Engagement Branch of Alberta Environment and Protected Areas for providing funding in support of monitoring operations for 2024. In addition, contributions derived from membership fees with municipalities as well as industry partners with facilities located within the airshed also represent vital support.
