CLRA Alberta Chapter Lunch and Learn Series March Webinar and 2020 AGM & Conference Recap
Clubroot Management and Testing – The Past, Present and Future (Webinar) March 30, 2020 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm MST
Registration D eadline: March 26, 2020 Clubroot is caused by a microscopic, soil-borne plant pathogen called Plasmodiophora brassicae. Clubroot was first reported on broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower in a few home gardens in the Edmonton area in the mid-1970s. In 2007, the Government of Alberta added Clubroot as a disease to Alberta's Agricultural Pests Act. Testing was always a significant issue, as the spores were not readily available from our usual suppliers for the purposes of positive controls during testing. So too were the lengths that oil and gas companies and environmental consultants had to go to so that contamination between fields was being mitigated.

The CLRA Alberta Chapter hosted the 43rd annual AGM and Conference in Red Deer from February 26-28, 2020 with an attendance of over 500. This year's theme was: 'Love Alberta Energy' - Energy has been the foundation of the Alberta economy for generations and continues to be a driver for our way of life. Time has brought diversity to the ways in which we derived energy from what Mother Nature has given us in this province and how we utilize it. Regardless of the energy source, whether it be solar, wind, coal, oil and gas, biomass, geothermal, or hydro, industries experience challenges and success. They continue to seek ways to improve their technology, design, construction, management, and environmental impact. At the conference, presenters shared and celebrated how energy "powers" our daily lives by highlighting what we do to keep Albertans and Canadians living well while achieving our environmental commitments and priorities and continually striving forward.
