Managing excess soil, especially in urban areas, presents both challenges and opportunities. The main challenge is ensuring safe and beneficial reuse while minimizing negative environmental and social impacts, such as contamination, dust, and traffic congestion. Opportunities exist to reduce landfill use, promote resource recovery, and potentially save costs by finding appropriate reuse locations for the soil. Environment Journal‘s annual Excess Soils Symposium explores these issues and more.
Expanding on the success of the Toronto edition, the popular event is expanding to Western Canada, beginning with Calgary on June 11, 2026. The agenda will include informed perspectives on the business of soils management, regulations impacting construction and cleanup projects, and innovative best practices.
Attendees will “get the dirt” and have time to connect with construction contractors, haulers, transfer site operators, land developers and technology providers. This event, which is supported by the Environmental Services Association of Alberta, will focus on the unique geographies, policies and issues facing practitioners in Western Canada.
Join us to dig into the issues and network with leaders in the industry!
