With Canada’s fresh water facing many threats, working together to collect, share, and effectively use freshwater data is more vital than ever. Join Thomas Saleh, policy advisor, data and technology at the International Institute for Sustainable Development-Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA); Katherine Balpataky, executive director at DataStream; and Jim Young, chief data officer at the Canada Water Agency, to discuss how we can collaborate to unleash the power of community water monitoring and open data. This webinar is the final in a four-part series, "Watershed Moments: Critical conversations on Canada’s freshwater future," bringing together practitioners and partners to share what’s working now for freshwater conservation and advocacy, and how we can work together to secure healthy, thriving water for generations to come. This series is produced by the Canadian Freshwater Initiative, a partnership of seven organizations advancing freshwater stewardship across Canada: Clearwater Futures Foundation, Data Stream, IISD-ELA, Nature Conservancy of Canada, Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust, Wildlife Conservation Society Canada, and World Wildlife Fund Canada.
