We are proud to have CTV Two as our media sponsor providing exclusive media coverage for GEDO 2016 sponsors. Our goal is to raise awareness, understanding and support for DE by providing people with the opportunity to visit, see, touch and talk about the projects in their own backyard. GEDO showcases the most pioneering DE projects in Alberta. This initiative has significant impacts on environmental stewardship and education. GEDO event hosts in DEC’s network will open their doors to the public to showcase their success. Green Energy Doors Open (GEDO) is an annual, province- wide showcase for DE projects, businesses, manufacturing sites and education programs.
