About Us

The Atlantic Chapter members represent many disciplines, with membership open to anyone directly and indirectly involved with the environmental and health and safety fields. Our members include, environmental site assessors and auditors, engineers, solicitors, government employees, financial industry representatives, and other professionals working in these areas.

History

The Atlantic Chapter is a 2006 amalgamation of two long standing organizations; The Association for Environmental Auditing (APEA) and Canadian Environmental Auditing Association (CEAA), to form the first Regional Chapter of the AAC in Canada. Both original organizations were founded in 1991 with APEA establishing a system of certification for both auditing and site assessment professionals in Atlantic Canada. CEAA established a certification program exclusive to auditors only with a national membership base. In recent years both organizations have moved away from certification and have partnered with ECO-Canada/CECAB in the certification process. The Atlantic Chapter now concentrates on providing environmental training, networking and general services to its members.
