WORLD WATER DAY CELEBRATIONS
The Water Institute and its graduate students hosted their annual World Water Day Celebration on March 22, 2023. The morning session featured a circle talk with Autumn Peltier, a 19-year-old international Indigenous rights and water activist, focused on the role of youth in shaping our water future. The afternoon session – Securing Canada’s water future – celebrated the accomplishments of the $353 million Global Water Futures program and its contributions to water security in Canada and abroad.
WATER IN FOCUS PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
In February 2024, the Water Institute graduate students held a “Water in focus” nature walk and workshop on Laurel Creek where they captured its beauty through photography. Rob de Loë (Environment, Resources and Sustainability), whose research program explores how photography can be used to build understanding around challenging science and policy questions in the environmental domain, provided guidance.
