We’ve been leading water stewardship initiatives for almost two decades, and have worked on specific projects across Canada and throughout British Columbia, including in the Canadian Columbia Basin watershed where we’re based.
Living Lakes Canada acknowledges that our water stewardship work originated in the unceded traditional territories of the Ktunaxa, Lheidli T’enneh, Secwepemc, Sinixt and Syilx Nations who have stewarded these lands for generations.
We work to protect all water bodies in Canada’s watersheds.
The hub of our programs is the Columbia Basin, located in southeastern BC adjacent to the US border.
A number of our programs have expanded to include other parts of BC.
We are also involved in projects, programs and initiatives Canada-wide.
Living Lakes Canada is affiliated with Living Lakes International, a global network of over 120 organizations working to mitigate climate impacts on some of the most ecologically rich lakes, rivers, and wetlands around the world.
Living Lakes Canada has facilitated the development of the Columbia Basin Water Hub open source database to house all water-related data for the Canadian Columbia Basin. It is also the official platform for all federal FIMP data.
