RCEN/CEN push for New National Water Policy

Voices of Water: Outlining Opportunities for Collaboration



The National Water Caucus of the Canadian Environmental Network (CEN/RCEN) along with other ENGO's have been pursuing the advancement of a National Water Policy for several years. There is an opportunity to bring together ENGOS into a facilitated discussion on national water issues at the upcoming Annual General Asemby of the CEN this September in Montreal.



Objectives

The RCEN Water Caucus would host a 5 hour National Water Forum and Workshop at the RCEN AGA in September 2010. Objectives include:



1. Learning about various current national water policy initiatives and programs from external organizations like the Polis Institute, Gordon Foundation, Canada Water Resource Association, and the Universities of Waterloo, British Columbia, and Ottawa.



2. Providing a forum for relationship building between the RCEN and various external organizations and their members.



3. Identifying collaboration opportunities between RCEN Member Groups and external organizations on National Water Programs and Initiatives.



If you are interested in this opportunity, would be interested in attending, or helping others to attend please let me know and I will put you on the conference mailing list.



Thanks
