2025 Downstream NWWC | Victoria, BC

Water Canada’s Downstream event in Victoria, BC brought together an energized room of emerging voices and experienced leaders, creating a space where ideas, career pathways, and shared purpose could take shape together.

Throughout the day, students and early-career professionals had the opportunity to learn directly from sector leaders who have spent years advancing water stewardship and innovation across the country. Thank you to our experts for offering thoughtful guidance, personal stories, and practical insight into what it means to build a career in water. Their expertise set the tone for meaningful dialogue and reflection.

Equally remarkable was the engagement from the students themselves. Their questions, curiosity, and forward-looking mindset underscored a shared commitment to protecting and managing our most essential resource. The future of Canada’s water sector is strengthened by their readiness to lead.

This event was made possible with the support of the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association and the SOI Foundation.
