We were pleased to take part in the Canada Water Agency’s Workshop on Water Security and Freshwater Data this week in Winnipeg. It was great to connect with water champions from across the country and discuss the vital link between freshwater data and water security. @kbalp.bsky.social

Cette semaine, nous avons eu le plaisir de participer à l’atelier sur la sécurité de l’eau et les données en matière d’eau douce de l’Agence de l'eau du Canada, qui s’est tenu à Winnipeg. Ce fut une excellente occasion de rencontrer des défenseurs de l’eau venus de tout le pay.

Thanks to all who attended last week’s SGL 2.0 Workshop: presenters, moderators, panelists, and participants! Your expert perspectives and insights are invaluable to helping build a smarter Great Lakes! smartgreatlakes.org/sgl-2-0-work... #greatlakes #smartgreatlakes

Why do we measure water temperature in our rivers, lakes, and streams? In this video, discover what temperature is, why it matters, and how it's measured. Our new animated video series explores the science behind water monitoring. Watch now!

Shout out to Conservation Lac Brome for uploading data to Great Lakes DataStream! Conservation Lac Brome has led a water quality monitoring program since 2008 on the six main tributaries of Brome Lake, located in the Eastern Townships region of southern Québec. Check it out: doi.org/10.25976/ukx...

Bravo à Conservation Lac Brome qui a partagé des données dans Great Lakes DataStream ! Depuis 2008, Conservation Lac Brome dirige un programme de suivi de la qualité de l’eau sur les six principaux affluents du lac Brome. doi.org/10.25976/ukxs-6p50

«[Les données issues du suivi communautaire] comblent d’incroyables lacunes & viennent compléter les données du gouvernement... C’est un modèle parfait que le gouvernement fédéral pourrait reproduire dans sa Stratégie sur la sécurité de l’eau» a déclaré @kbalp.bsky.social dans Cabin Radio:

NWT asks how new federal water security strategy will handle industry

As Ottawa works on creating its first national water security strategy, the impacts of upstream industrial development are a key concern in the NWT.

“[Community monitoring data] is filling incredible gaps, and it is being used complementary to the government’s own data... That is a perfect model that the federal government could emulate in their water security strategy,” said @kbalp.bsky.social in this Cabin Radio article:

It's here! We're excited to launch a new animated video series exploring water quality. Each video introduces a water quality parameter, why it matters, and how it's measured. Check them out! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

With 26 of the most frequently monitored water quality parameters: #arsenic, #mercury and #pesticides to DO, turbidity, temperature, pH and conductivity, the videos offer an approachable introduction to what each parameter is, why it matters, and how it is measured.

IISD's headquarters in Winnipeg are on Treaty 1 Territory and the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation. On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, we recognize the painful history & ongoing trauma to Indigenous Peoples caused by residential schools.

(2/2) The day honours the Survivors & the children who never returned home from the Indian Residential Schools. We encourage everyone to wear orange & take the time to listen, learn, & reflect on the colonial history & the intergenerational impacts on Indigenous communities.  #StrengthenOurNations
