THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE CANADIAN WATER AND WASTEWATER ASSOCIATION

IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CANADIAN ASSOCIATION FOR WATER QUALITY’S NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON WATER QUALITY RESEARCH

This conference will bring together drinking water, wastewater, water security, water and energy efficiency, biosolids and climate change. It will be the first time all these players will be together at a national level to discuss how all these aspects of water and wastewater management connect – and where they diverge or conflict. It will build new collaborations and relationships and give the sector a stronger national voice.

Utility managers, consultants, government officials, operators and academics— all will appreciate this chance to learn and network.

This Conference is FOR YOU, be sure to be there!
