Our Water Stewardship
Living Lakes Canada is an award-winning NGO that facilitates collaboration in monitoring, restoration, and policy development initiatives for the long-term protection of lakes, rivers, aquifers, wetlands and watersheds across Canada.
We’ve been working with Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities for over two decades to protect precious freshwater sources. Applied Reconciliation continues to be the most important lens for our water stewardship work. Learn about our Applied Reconciliation program.

We recognize the ongoing practices and relationships that Indigenous Peoples have with their territories and the waters that flow through them. Living Lakes honours these connections by uplifting Indigenous voices in water stewardship.
