Our Mission & Vision
To make a difference in the global community by providing adaptive, innovative solutions for environmental purposes through attracting exceptional and passionate specialists.
MEMS is a leader in the environmental consulting industry. Our experts have a robust understanding of the implications of changes to environmental guidelines. We can evaluate the impacts of guideline changes on a site-by-site basis or portfolio level using SiteCrest—our industry-leading rapid data visualization software tool. This allows us to help our clients meet their business and environmental objectives in a changing regulatory landscape.
Our History
Millennium EMS Solutions Ltd. (MEMS) was founded in 1998 with a vision to deliver innovative, science-based solutions in environmental assessment, reclamation, and regulatory consulting.
From the very beginning, MEMS set out to push the boundaries of environmental protection and land stewardship, helping clients meet complex regulatory requirements while advancing industry best practices.
Early Years (1998–2006)
MEMS quickly established itself as a trusted partner in Alberta’s environmental sector. Key achievements during this period include:
-
Developing the ECO Plan Process for Alberta Transportation, now a standard requirement for construction projects in the province.
-
Partnering with major clients such as Gulf (CPC), who remain one of MEMS’ largest clients today.
-
Issuing Alberta’s first reclamation certificate to a coal mine, setting the stage for rigorous, science-based reclamation practices.
Growth & Innovation (2006–2015)
Building on its early successes, MEMS expanded its technical capabilities and industry influence:
-
Implemented Alberta’s largest integrated wetland compensation program, including a 20-hectare wetland complex and restored riparian corridor.
-
Developed Health Canada’s guidance for site-specific human health sediment quality.
-
Completed 86% of all submitted coal EIAs in Alberta since 1999 and 21% of all provincial EIAs, demonstrating technical leadership and reliability.
-
Introduced the Green Zone Management Limits methodology through MEMS’ first R&D program.
Industry Leadership (2016-2022)
MEMS continued to set the standard for reclamation, remediation, and environmental management:
-
Compiled regional background soil quality data across Alberta to support evidence-based decision-making.
-
Developed innovative approaches, including the Low Probability Receptor method, optimizing site-specific remediation while incorporating environmental net benefits.
-
Produced guidance for numerical groundwater models, adopted by CAPP and leading industry clients.
-
Recognized with PTAC’s Innovation Award for advancing remediation and reclamation science through collaborative R&D initiatives.
Looking Ahead
MEMS’ decades of experience, global perspectives, and technical expertise enable us to continue delivering impactful, science‑based environmental solutions. From pioneering reclamation practices to shaping regulatory guidance, MEMS remains committed to supporting clients in making informed decisions and meeting their environmental responsibilities with excellence.
We have consistently embraced innovation, applied science with integrity, and challenged the status quo—making MEMS a trusted leader in environmental consulting for over 25 years.
