From the CWRA website:

In choosing a theme for the conference, we wanted to have something that had a clear connection to our region, while also highlighting what our team felt was a current key focus in our area of work – the clear value of collaboration within water resources. This led us to our conference theme, which is “Rising with the tide: working together to address water resource challenges”. In support of this theme, we have outlined several of the key focuses our team is considering in developing the conference below:

• Highlighting the value of collaboration and information sharing in water resources management;
• Highlighting unique regional challenges, expertise, and solutions that can be potentially considered and adopted by others from across the country;
• Integrating indigenous water resources knowledge and perspectives; and
• Welcoming and learning from the knowledge and experiences of our colleagues from coast to coast.
