Partnering Agreement

The Canadian GeoExchange Coalition (CGC) and the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA) agree, through this document, to establish a partnership to support the achievement of our common purposes, which are:

to improve the quality of life through the protection and enhancement of the water environment;
to help improve the knowledge of members and stakeholders around specific technological applications involving heat, water and wastewater; and
to help improve Canada's ability to manage and innovate in both the water environment and the energy environment, wherever possible.

It is our common objective that all people have access to clean safe water and heat, and based on the understanding that water quality and reliability of service delivery are of a paramount importance to any municipal water system.

As a result of this partnership we shall:

exchange information on key water and wastewater news;
permit our respective members to attend conferences, workshops and meetings at member prices;
create and maintain direct links on each organization's respective Web page; and
provide technical and science-based input to documents under development and projects being undertaken by the other organization

It is agreed that this partnering agreement will be instituted on the 1 st day of May 2008 and will be reviewed by both organizations every two years.
