National Webinar
Join us for “Financing Watershed Security: Assessing Promising Mechanisms Across Canada” on July 29th to explore the findings of a new report examining innovative and sustainable approaches to financing watershed stewardship across Canada.
📅 Date: July 29, 2026
⏰ Time: 12 –1:30 pm PT, 1 – 2:30 pm MT, 3:00 –4:30 pm ET, 4:00 – 5:30pm AT
REGISTER TODAY to learn more about how Canada can strengthen long-term watershed security through stable, preventative, and collaborative investment models.
Healthy watersheds are essential to safe drinking water, flood and drought resilience, biodiversity conservation, agricultural productivity, and community wellbeing. Yet many of the organizations responsible for monitoring, planning, and coordinating watershed stewardship continue to rely on short-term, project-based funding that limits their ability to plan, retain staff, and build lasting partnerships for collaborative governance.
This webinar will present key findings from a report led by Our Living Waters that explores diverse approaches to funding long-term watershed stewardship.

We will be taking a summer break from hosting these virtual gatherings and resume in September.
OLW’s June Monthly Member Meetup was focussed on The Healthy River Ecosystem AssessmenT System (THREATS™) – an interactive web platform combining 100+ datasets to inform water management decision making, including Source Water Protection (SWP) planning. We are excited to welcome Trevor Boston M.Sc., P. Eng., Associate and Software Development Lead with GREENLAND®.
