Note to readers:
In Alberta, when prosecutions for improper release of waste materials result in a finding of guilt, judges have sentencing options over and
above the imposition of fines. “Creative sentencing” is a catch-all term used to describe the various options in a section of legislation that
covers court orders relating to penalty. This section appears in various pieces of legislation and includes:

• Any other measures the court may see fit to secure the offender’s good conduct
• Bond or other monetary payment
• Community service orders
• Compensation orders
• Providing specified information
• Publication orders
• Remediation orders
• Stop orders

Judges presiding over cases decide if they want a creative sentence and what sort of creative sentence would be appropriate. Any sentence
imposed by criminal court judges must reflect the circumstances of the offence and the offender.
This article, written by the offender, who can’t be named, is part of a creative sentence that the Provincial Court of Alberta imposed as
a result of an Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act infraction.
