16th Canadian National Drinking Water Conference - preliminary program available

We’re excited to announce that the preliminary agenda for the 16th Canadian National Conference on Drinking Water is now available from our website. The program is extremely full of interesting and ground-breaking research on all aspects of water treatment - from technologies, to management and regulations.

We’re still working on confirming speakers, but are very excited about the utility stream we have planned, which will focus on the issues most important to CWWA’s members.

Browse our Program at a Glance and visit our website to download the complete preliminary program. Also watch for details on our Climate Change Workshop being held in parallel with the Conference on Tuesday, October 28.
