Canadian Water Network and Environment and Climate Change Canada share a common objective of advancing knowledge that contributes to the management of harmful substances in wastewater, including identifying the most effective wastewater treatment investments, policies and practices.
In October 2017, with $400,000 in financial support from Environment and Climate Change Canada, Canadian Water Network embarked on a national review of contaminants in municipal wastewater and Canada’s options to deal with them.
The panel was chaired by Dr. Donald Mavinic from the University of British Columbia and included eight leading experts with a strong collective understanding of the knowledge and practice base in wastewater treatment and impacts.
