Hot off the press! Take a look at Canadian Water Network’s (CWN) 2025 annual report to find out how we supported Canada’s water sector and decision makers.

2025 was a year of profound and rapid change in Canada. Shifting political and social priorities, economic turbulence from U.S. trade tariffs, rising costs, and labour shortages created a challenging environment for leaders responsible for our essential water services. These pressures underscored the need for adaptability, collaboration, and innovation — values at the heart of CWN’s mission.

Throughout the year, CWN worked alongside municipalities, utilities, public health agencies, Indigenous-led organizations and private‑sector partners to help navigate these challenges and turn them into opportunities for better decision-making.

Across all our work, one theme stood out: collaboration truly moves the needle. Whether it’s tackling infrastructure costs, planning for an uncertain climate future, or protecting public health, CWN continues to bring the right people together to share knowledge, solve problems, and build more resilient water systems for communities across Canada.
