The 2019 CWRA National Conference is fast approaching and we're hoping to see you there! The week is packed full of speakers, sessions and connecting with colleagues. 

While we'd be thrilled if you can be there for the week, we also know there are time commitments, budget restrictions and a lot going on. So if you can't attend the whole week the program can be found here, and one day accommodations and registrations are available. 

Accommodations:

The Blue Mountain Resort and surrounding area has a lot to offer with events, activities, and site seeing in addition to the conference.  Our conference discounted prices will give you a chance to extend your stay and bring your family.  The discount is only available until May 3rd, so don't delay.

WHAT IS THE CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERATION FOR AWARD?
The award is open to any study or project that has demonstrated a commitment and innovation in the protection and wise management of Canada’s water.

The award is open to organizations and requires that at least one core project team member be a CWRA member in good standing and that at least one core project team member attend the conference to accompany the submission. Project must have been substantially completed within the past four years of the award application deadline (i.e., May 16th, 2015).

WHAT WILL BE THE PROCESS?

Application should include as much detail as possible. Some suggestions are: description, objectives, intent, constraints, challenges, accomplishments, unique or outstanding elements, others. Submission should be no more than 10 pages and can include maps, graphs or other visuals. 

A display board will be required from each finalist to be displayed during the conference. The display board poster will be mounted on foam core board or equivalent. Maximum (length + width) dimensions not to exceed 72” in total (i.e., 36” x 36” or 40” x 32”).
