2010 Freshwater Summit

The first Summit was held in 2010 and provided a forum for freshwater scientists, policy makers, Aboriginal peoples of Canada, students, interest groups and the public to discuss issues concerning the protection, use and management of freshwater in Canada and how to better integrate water research and monitoring into policy development.

Recommendations arising from the 2010 Freshwater Summit are contained in a communiqué and in a companion document, a draft Canadian Charter of Water Rights and Responsibilities.
