Partnerships & Collaborations for the Northeast Water Strategy
Last updated on November 13, 2018Many partners are involved in the Northeast Water Strategy Implementation in various research and monitoring projects across Northeast B.C.
Partnerships
Partnerships and transparency are the core operating values in developing and implementing the Northeast Water Strategy. The Strategy explores viewpoints from the wide range of experience and reflects the values of everyone who depends on water in Northeast B.C. In the broadest sense, this includes anyone living or working in this region.
The Northeast Water Strategy brings together more than 50 partners with a wide range of interests from all levels of government, First Nations, industry, academia, nongovernmental organizations and community representatives. Partners share information, generate new monitoring and research, and promote a strong stewardship ethic that will ensure the region can meet water demands today and into the future.
A key benefit of bringing partners together is the opportunity to share information and identify gaps. Collaboration across partners brings significant knowledge, experience, perspectives and priorities to the table. This commitment to partnership is vital to the development, implementation and ultimate success of the strategy.
