In Praise of Leadership!
As YOUR national association, the CWWA is a volunteer-driven organization. While we do have 4 full-time staff (Robert, Kara, Adrian and Louisa), our direction and support comes from you the members. You write the articles, attend the conferences and make the...
Farewell to Nova Scotia! NWWC2022 and a new toque!
We did it! We had a real, live, national conference again! What a joy to see so many friends and colleagues in Halifax for the National Water & Wastewater Conference. Despite ongoing covid-19 fears, some lingering travel restrictions, and even an airline system...
How Partnerships Strengthen Utilities
I hate to say it …summer is coming to an end… but covid seems to be laying low…so it’s time to sit down and book your travel to the National Water & Wastewater Conference! We haven’t held the NWWC since we last met in Banff, way back in 2019. So we are well...

Each year, the quality of our conference program just seems to get better and better. I was thoroughly amazed by the calibre of our speakers and the depth of discussion. We managed a very respectable turnout as well and we have heard only positive comments from the...
Innovation is found in our people!
I was recently asked to submit a response to WEF’s WE&T magazine asking me about, “how people are tackling water issues around the globe locally, and …innovative initiatives is your region undertaking to handle those issues?” Our membership is so varied, and our...
We’re Having a Great National Conference!
IF you are one of the few Canadian water professionals that did NOT register for the National Water & Wastewater Conference, you’ve been missing a really great virtual series. We’ll share more next month in this e-Bulletin, but it’s not too late to sign up for...
New ministers, but no mandate letters yet
As far as cabinet shuffles go, this was certainly a major shuffle. Prime Minister Trudeau announced his new cabinet on October 26th and all were sworn in by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary May Simon. Of the 38 cabinet ministers named, only 7 were...
