We are an association of water organizations that represent a diverse set of skills and professions. Our purpose is to influence the future of water. 

Western Canada Water (WCW) was founded in 1948 to promote the exchange of knowledge of water treatment, sewage treatment, distribution of water and collection of sewage for towns and cities from across Western Canada. The foundation of our existence is as relevant today as it was in 1948.

Today, WCW is a coalition of six Constituent Organizations (COs) representing more than 5,000 members who work in the water industry. Members join COs based on their needs and benefits received from the respective organization. Individuals that belong to one our COs are part of the WCW family and can receive the WCW Magazine, attend WCW hosted training and networking events at member rates, including our Annual Conference.

We believe that working together for water makes us stronger, like creeks and streams coming together to create the rivers and lakes that provide the life giving resource for our communities. Together we can make a difference in our efforts to provide safe water and protect the environment.

Western Canada Water acknowledges that our region of operation covers many Treaty Territories, and the home for many Indigenous Peoples. We pay our respect to the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis ancestors and reaffirm our relationship with one another.
