Water Reuse and Climate Resiliency in Municipalities: An Engaged Event to Share Insights and Experiences, Generate Ideas for Action, and Network.

Let’s connect passionate people with bright ideas!

We believe that connecting passionate people with bright ideas will help to advance sustainable actions for water reuse in communities. Water reuse, as one strategy for climate resiliency, is of increasing interest to municipalities throughout Alberta and Canada. It is a timely opportunity for us to come together from across sectors to share insights and experiences, generate ideas, and take action to collectively advance water reuse initiatives in response to the impacts of climate change.

Learn more about why there is a need to focus on water reuse and climate resiliency.

The Forum is an opportunity to gain connections and relationships that can enhance your work.

You will:

• create connections to help bridge knowledge and resource gaps;
• develop relationships to support the development of actionable steps in your work;
• share knowledge and experiences with different stakeholders;
• be inspired by, learn about, and understand the unique needs and diverse contexts of others working on similar issues;
• develop novel and synergistic approaches to define, achieve, and sustain a healthy community; and
• foster new opportunities for networking and collaboration.

Let’s bring our ideas and work together

By coming together, we are catalysts to fostering healthy, sustainable, and flourishing communities. On October 24, 2024, you will connect with practitioners, decision-makers, policy professionals, industry professionals, students, researchers, and members of the general public interested in this topic. At the Innovation Forum, you will engage in visionary conversations that will spark insights, ideas, and actions about water reuse and climate resiliency – a critical topic facing communities across Alberta and Canada.
