The demand for live events!
The Water Haller – May 2022 I have sat in on so many webinars about the “new normal” and the future of live events. The repeated message was that, at worst, we would likely NEVER return to events as we once knew them and, at best, it would take years to build up...
The Water Haller – On Tour!
The Water Haller – April 2022 That’s right. I’m going back on tour to see you, the CWWA members across Canada. I have been so excited to see everyone again, but after over 2 ½ years of not going to any live events, it seems we’re trying to do them all in the same...
National Conference a Great Success!
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...
So apparently there was an election…
So the results are in and…. well…nothing much will change. That’s ok. You can debate if there was a ‘need’ for an election, but you can’t be upset that voters hadn’t changed their mind much in 2 years. We will return to a Liberal minority government. I am quite ok...
Water Haller: All’s Quiet on the Election Front
It’s election time, so everything is on hold. Most federal projects have paused and it’s hard to get anyone to talk to you while the future is uncertain. While we don’t actively back any parties, as the CWWA we are certainly concerned with all national issues...
Another great Window on Ottawa!
If you missed it, you missed a great one! The Window on Ottawa is our signature event, like no other in our industry, as it brings together federal project leaders and policy makers with our membership of water leaders. Through this annual forum, we can engage the...
The busiest few months for advocacy in 9 years!
That’s right, I’ve been here 9 years already! I still feel like a new guy with lots of ideas on how we can always continue to improve. But I swear, these past few months have been the busiest that I can remember as far as advocacy work. Maybe because I’m locked at...
