Watershed Moments: Critical conversations on Canada’s freshwater future

Canada is a freshwater superpower, with over 2 million lakes, thousands of rivers, and roughly 20% of the world's freshwater supply. But climate change, pollution, development pressure, and habitat loss are pushing freshwater ecosystems to a tipping point.

This four-part series brings together practitioners and partners to share what's working now for freshwater conservation and advocacy, and how we can work together to secure healthy, thriving water for generations to come.

Who should attend

Conservation professionals, policy-makers, community leaders, Indigenous partners, researchers, educators, students, and anyone ready to act on fresh water in their work or community.
