Canada’s growing urban centres need sustainable, affordable and integrated water management solutions.

Our water and communities program helps leaders make more informed decisions about providing safe drinking water, wastewater and stormwater services. We do this through the lens of good governance, innovation and continuous improvement.

Program Highlights

Canadian Municipal Water Consortium

Our Canadian Municipal Water Consortium is a national network of senior utility leaders who share a common goal of advancing municipal water management.

Lake Ontario Collaborative Group

The Lake Ontario Collaborative Group brings together several municipalities along Lake Ontario’s north shore to develop a water quality forecasting system.

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.
