Environmental Education Centre

The Environmental Education Centre offers a visual exploration of Okotoks' water system and provides insight into people's interdependency with this essential life-giving resource.

The Environmental Education Centre currently features information all about our watershed. Visitors to the centre can view full wall murals, which illustrate a variety of water-related facts.  The murals explain where our water comes from, how it moves throughout our community, how we should best sustainably manage it, where it goes after we use it, and what the future holds for our water supply.  The centre also explains how green infrastructure (biofiltration and bioretention cells) is being used to manage the stormwater from the Town's Operations Centre site. Green infrastructure, also known as Low Impact Development (LID), is an innovative and growing field of practice in the world of stormwater management.
