The Living Water Policy Project

The Living Water Policy Project is made up of a group of water policy analysts and professionals that monitor changes to federal, provincial, and territorial water policy in Canada. The initiative is driven by the belief that the fragmented nature of Canadian water policy inhibits the effective management of our water.

The project is guided by a growing community of partners that is unified by three objectives:

• To consolidate information on federal, provincial, and territorial water policy relating to water quantity and quality;
• To improve access to knowledge around Canadian water policy activities; and
• To improve civil society’s collective ability to participate in the public policy dialogue on water.

The LWPP is hosted by the WSP. POLIS supports the initiative by helping maintain the library of Canadian water policy information and providing a platform for rigorous analysis and strategic action on trends and developments in water policy.
