Since 2006, the Canada WaterPortal Society (Previously Alberta WaterPortal Society) has developed and published key online resources about water issues in Canada and has provided a free and current water news digest to subscribers. Our mission is to provide an inclusive and credible online resource that supports and improves the public’s understanding of water. To this end, we have launched a sustainability campaign that will allow us to continue developing these educational materials, creating new project proposals, and publishing relevant content that will inspire our audience and our funding organizations.
Now, more than ever, water is at the forefront of efforts to ensure a sustainable and resilient future, both in Canada and beyond. Through the generosity of our donors, the Society has supported these efforts, becoming a leader in research, innovation, and information exchange. With your financial support, we will continue to connect diverse interests, encourage dialogue, and inform decision making that benefits all communities.
Currently, donations will go to our sustainability campaign, and they are processed through Canada Helps.
Thank you for your interest in the Canada WaterPortal!
We provide Canadian educational resources on water practices to promote conservation and sustainability. Our team crafts current and relevant content, while encouraging feedback and engagement.
The Canada WaterPortal is a registered charity, #807121876RR0001
