The Mackenzie: Canada’s Cold Amazon

Northern Voices, Southern Choices

In a world of uncertainty around the future quality and availability of Canada’s water,
how do we protect Canada’s social and economic future?

The answer lies in completely rethinking the way water is managed. Despite doubts that such significant reform is possible, 
we have found examples of the kind of change needed in places like the Northwest Territories. 
This lively presentation describes some of the most innovative public policy breakthroughs in water policy and what is at stake if we fail.
