30th Annual River Symposium

This FREE event will take place both online and in-person in Cornwall, ON, Canada.

For the past 30 years, the River Symposium has provided a platform for researchers, educators, policy-makers, community leaders and citizens to discuss the current ecological health of our freshwater ecosystems and explore issues and challenges facing large rivers and their watersheds. This sharing of knowledge is powerful as it leads to a better understanding of freshwater resources and ecosystems, as well as the development of strategies for renewal and protection.

For our 30th Anniversary, we hope to highlight the past, present and future of the St. Lawrence River, its tributaries and interconnected systems. We are happy to welcome a wide variety of presentations on themes including art, community stories/initiatives, Indigenous perspectives, and scientific studies of freshwater systems.
