Canadian Water Network is an independent non-profit with a purpose of getting communities closer to the future they want by accelerating, advancing and improving water management decisions.

We are motivated by the need for aligned and meaningful connections across the water sector and beyond, particularly other sectors with related and adjacent interests, to achieve progress on complex environmental, social and economic challenges.

Our Values

CWN initiatives create value in the form of curated knowledge and actionable insights. This value is achieved by convening decision-makers, knowledge generators and solution providers in a way that recognizes the realities and limitations surrounding decisions and enables better use of knowledge resulting from these connections.

Land Acknowledgement

Canadian Water Network (CWN) respectfully recognizes and acknowledges the deep connection that First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples across Canada have with the land that all Canadians call home. We also honour and recognize the significance of the treaties that establish the relationship between Indigenous peoples and settlers on this land.

Our office is located in Waterloo, Ontario, on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. More specifically, our office is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that extends six miles on each side of the Grand River.

We are grateful for the privilege to work and live on this land.
