The Canadian Water Innovation Lab 2010:
An Unconference for Uncommon Leaders. The Albertan Rockies, October 18-24, 2010.
In October 2010, 250 young Canadians attended a once-in-a-lifetime learning event to turn their good intentions into concrete actions to protect our most precious natural resource. The Canadian Water Innovation Lab 2010 was designed to give tomorrow’s leaders the insights, tools, and connections to make a difference in protecting and preserving water. Right now.
“The Lab served to re-motivate me; to reaffirm that what I am doing is really important and that I can have a significant impact.” - CWIL Participant, 2010.
“The Lab showed me the power of group dialogue in moving Canada’s water policy forward.” – CWIL Facilitator, 2010.
"The Lab was an excellent opportunity to network and learn in a 'safe' environment where it's okay to ask questions and propose unconventional ideas.” - CWIL Participant, 2010.
To learn more about The Canadian Water Innovation Lab 2010, it’s structure and outcomes, please contact thelab@waterlution.org. To view CWIL media releases, please visit our Press page.
