In 2018, CWN conducted a national expert panel review of contaminants in wastewater to empower decision makers to choose the most effective treatment investments, policies and practices. Later that year, CWN launched a Strategic Sharing Group with twelve utility decision makers from across Canada who were interested in exploring this issue in-depth. The group met on seven occasions to discuss a range of topics, including key challenges and knowledge gaps, effects-based and biomonitoring programs, risk management, public communication strategies and more. The final meeting took place on August 5, 2020. A summary of insights is now available to share with the broader water community.
