Last year, we celebrated an extraordinary legacy. For over 30 years, Joe Chowaniec has been a pillar of Alberta’s environmental community—a visionary leader, mentor, and the driving force behind RemTech, the premier conference for the remediation industry. Through his dedication to the Environmental Services Association of Alberta (ESAA), he built connections, inspired collaboration, and helped raise over $1.2 million for charity. Beyond his professional impact, Joe’s curiosity, kindness, and love of photography inspired everyone fortunate enough to know him. As Joe stepped into retirement, we celebrated the remarkable difference he made in our industry and community. 🏆 Now, it’s time to recognize the next leader.
