Canada Water Week 2011

For those of you following at home, my scholarly research has been focused around topics of water governance for the past 7 years or so. I did research on wastewater treatment processes and currently am finishing a book on wastewater management. So, it’s no surprise that I am always trying to highlight water-related issues. I recently learned that March 14th through 22nd mark the inaugural Canada Water Week.

Canada Water Week is a week-long celebration of water from coast-to-coast-to-coast, starting March 14 and culminating with World Water Day on March 22, 2011. Individuals, organizations and governments across the country are encouraged to get involved by organizing or participating in fun and educational events. Together, we will raise the profile and understanding of water and its importance to Canada’s prosperity.

The Walter & Duncan Gordon Foundation, World Wildlife Fund Canada and Living Lakes Network Canada have partnered to coordinate the organization of Canada Water Week 2011 in collaboration with individuals, governments and organizations across the country.

I’m particularly impressed with how Canada Water Week has taken up social networking sites, they are on every single social platform from Twitter to YouTube. Kudos!
