Albertans working together to advance water management priorities.
Established in 2004 and incorporated as a not-for-profit society in 2007, the Alberta Water Council was a collaborative partnership with members from governments, industry, and non-government organizations. Its primary tasks were to advance the outcomes of Water for Life, provide advice that informs policy or actions, and provide a forum to discuss water perspectives.
Guided by its vision of all Albertans working together to ensure safe, healthy and abundant water for future generations, the Council brought together the expertise and experience of its members using a consensus decision making process. Its mission was to provide leadership, expertise and sector knowledge to engage and empower industry, non-governmental organizations, and governments to achieve the outcomes of the Water for Life strategy. This was supported by the Council’s values of collaboration, fairness, innovation, respect, timeliness, transparency and trust.
