The Canadian Water Network provides exceptional training opportunities to highly qualified personnel in the water sector. Although much training occurs within the traditional university environment, CWN is committed to offering exceptional opportunities that provide well-rounded, multidisciplinary perspectives on water resource management.

This commitment has resulted in offering a series of national workshops where participants are fully engaged in holistic study of a watershed ecosystem and in-depth analysis of a water management issue. These week-long workshops offer hands-on experience and equip students and young professionals with the comprehensive understanding and skills they need to succeed as future leaders in the water sector, whether it be within the academic, industrial, governmental or nongovernmental sector.
