Athabasca WPAC Designated

Good News! On February 2, 2010, the Athabasca Watershed Council was designated by Alberta Environment as the 10^th Watershed Planning and Advisory Council (WPAC) inAlberta.  WPACs are multi-stakeholder, non-profit organizations that assess the conditions of their watershed and develop plans and activities to address watershed issues.  Currently, ten watersheds have organizations formally recognized as WPACs. Over the next year, the Athabasca WPAC will begin work on a State of the Watershed report.  Time and effort will also be directed to raising the profile of the Athabasca Watershed Council and making it a fully functional organization.

A special thank you to Athabasca Watershed Council Initiation Group for their hard work, determination, and persistence to get the foundational and governance documents in place.
