The Wood Buffalo Environmental Association has translated an informational video into both Cree and Dene Native languages. The video provides stakeholders and community members with an insider’s look at WBEA’s extensive air monitoring network, and explains exactly how WBEA goes about the job of continuously monitoring and reporting air quality for the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. “We thought it was important to have this resource translated to Cree and Dene in order to better reach out to our Aboriginal partners and stakeholders,” said WBEA Executive Director Dr. Kevin Percy. The WBEA worked with local Cree and Dene speaking community members for the voice-over translations.
