As wildfires intensify across much of Canada, they serve as a reminder of how climate change is disrupting ecosystems and threatening drinking water supplies. Canadian Water Network (CWN) hosted a timely and thought-provoking webinar that explored how communities can build resilience to climate shocks and secure water sources.

During the webinar:

• Professor Monika Emelko from the University of Waterloo introduced a practical framework for climate shock preparedness and response, which aimed to help municipalities identify and mitigate risks to their water systems.
• Antoine Rempp from the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo shared a case study from Fort McMurray, which highlighted lessons learned from recent wildfire and flood events as well as how the municipality is adapting its approach to water security.
