WHY PROTECT WATER

Protecting freshwater is fundamental to life. It sustains ecosystems, supports biodiversity, and ensures clean drinking water for communities around the world. Without healthy freshwater systems, both nature and people face significant risks.

Freshwater is also vital for economic growth. Industries, agriculture, and energy production all rely on stable water sources, making its protection critical to maintaining global stability and economic resilience.

As climate change intensifies, freshwater ecosystems are under growing strain. Droughts, floods, and pollution are threatening water quality and availability, underscoring the urgent need to preserve this finite resource.

By partnering with us, your company can take a leading role in safeguarding freshwater for future generations. Together, we can develop sustainable solutions that benefit both the planet and your business.

TESTIMONIALS

“Their National Lake Blitz gave our staff real-world experience in monitoring lake health and their Lake Photo Contest for Sleeman employees engaged our team’s creativity in capturing the beauty of their favourite lakes. Both programs have been embraced by Sleeman Breweries staff and helped our employees better appreciate the importance of Canadian lakes. Our partnership with Living Lakes Canada has been beneficial for all involved.”

UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs)

Living Lakes Canada collaborates with communities, partners and individuals to protect Canada’s freshwater resources. Our programs support Canada’s commitment to SDGs 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. With freshwater systems increasingly impacted by climate change, there is a need for collective efforts to support sustainable management of water resources. 

In addition to informing human uses of water, our projects are critical to managing, protecting and restoring terrestrial and aquatic habitats, supporting Goal 15. The data collected, combined with outreach and educational objectives, support the sustainable management of forests, lakes and rivers and the critical riparian areas within them.

For example, the Columbia Basin Water Monitoring Collective project is primarily targeting SDGs 6,13 and 15, but with secondary outcomes which relate to goals 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 14. This project will build the capacity required to collect reliable freshwater data which informs watershed management, resource allocation and planning as water resources grow increasingly scarce, in direct support of Goal 6. While the project will be centered in the Columbia Basin, the broader objective is to create transferable methods, templates and lessons learned which can be shared with river basins across Canada.  

Goal 13, Climate Action, is the impetus for all of our work, and our projects directly support climate change awareness and community adaptation through community education initiatives, workshops, youth opportunities and local government outreach.
