Travis Ripley, Assistant Deputy Minister, Government of Alberta’s Environment and Protected Areas Ministry, will provide a welcome address at the Excess Soils Symposium in Calgary. Travis provides executive leadership and oversight for Alberta’s environmental regulatory assurance systems, with a focus on risk‑based oversight, regulatory credibility, and continuous improvement across land, soil, and water management. He also plays a key role in advancing a digital integrated regulatory assurance system that consider landscape‑level impacts, long‑term soil and land condition, and cross‑ministry regulatory alignment.
