Ninth Annual NWT Water Strategy Implementation Workshop
November 5, 2018
DataStream participated in the Ninth Annual NWT Water Strategy Implementation Workshop in Dettah, NT from October 24 to 25. This year’s workshop theme, “Linking Knowledges and Ways of Knowing,” focused on the need to draw from the strengths of different knowledge systems to achieve the vision of the NWT Water Strategy.
The Waters of the Northwest Territories will remain clean, abundant and productive for all time.” – NWT Water Stewardship Strategy Vision
With an emphasis on discussion and dialogue, the workshop provided an opportunity to share stories, perspectives, and knowledge, as well as updates on the water stewardship strategy action plan. We shared DataStream updates during a panel discussion on “Documenting and Sharing Water Knowledge”, followed by a breakout session on water quality data sharing and access in the Mackenzie River Basin.

We were also thrilled to share a short “highlights reel” video showcasing the work of community water monitors and guardians in the NWT. We continue to be inspired by the commitment and dedication of all those working to protect the health of these shared waters.
