TransAlta

On , we’re recognizing the importance of strong environmental leadership in protecting the ecosystems where we operate.

Throughout his career, Ken Munch, a Senior Environmental Specialist at TransAlta, has demonstrated exceptional commitment to environmental stewardship. Over the past year, Ken led multiple fish rescue efforts across our hydro operations, including a major initiative on the Spray Canal system, where approximately 7,800 fish from eight species were safely relocated ahead of construction. His approach emphasizes collaboration and education, fostering a shared responsibility for environmental protection.

We’re proud to highlight the expertise, care and commitment our people bring to advancing sustainability across our operations.

Many Calgarians may remember the Open Minds program offered in elementary schools across the city in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Today, TransAlta is thrilled to sponsor the evolution of this program, Campus Calgary / Open Minds at Contemporary Calgary, an immersive, arts-based learning experience developed with the Calgary Board of Education.

Recently, we dropped in on a group of students from Buffalo Rubbing Stone School. Over the course of a week, students explored Contemporary Calgary’s exhibitions and learning spaces while engaging with a central question: How does art help us understand the world, ourselves and each other?

Thank you to the students for welcoming us in and allowing us to see the program in action!
